We present the first query-based approach for explaining missing answers to queries over nested relational data which is a common data format used by big data systems such as Apache Spark. Our main contributions are a novel way to define query-based why-not provenance based on repairs to queries and presenting an implementation and preliminary experiments for answering such queries in Spark.
