> Enable collation support for the *SubstringIndex* and *StringLocate* built-in 
> string functions in Spark. First confirm what is the expected behaviour for 
> these functions when given collated strings, and then move on to 
> implementation and testing. One way to go about this is to consider using 
> {_}StringSearch{_}, an efficient ICU service for string matching. Implement 
> the corresponding unit tests (CollationStringExpressionsSuite) and E2E tests 
> (CollationSuite) to reflect how this function should be used with collation 
> in SparkSQL, and feel free to use your chosen Spark SQL Editor to experiment 
> with the existing functions to learn more about how they work. In addition, 
> look into the possible use-cases and implementation of similar functions 
> within other other open-source DBMS, such as 
> [PostgreSQL|https://www.postgresql.org/docs/].
>  
> The goal for this Jira ticket is to implement the *SubstringIndex* and 
> *StringLocate* functions so that they support all collation types currently 
> supported in Spark. To understand what changes were introduced in order to 
> enable full collation support for other existing functions in Spark, take a 
> look at the Spark PRs and Jira tickets for completed tasks in this parent 
> (for example: Contains, StartsWith, EndsWith).
>  
> Read more about ICU [Collation Concepts|http://example.com/] and 
> [Collator|http://example.com/] class, as well as _StringSearch_ using the 
> [ICU user 
> guide|https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/collation/string-search.html]
>  and [ICU 
> docs|https://unicode-org.github.io/icu-docs/apidoc/released/icu4j/com/ibm/icu/text/StringSearch.html].
>  Also, refer to the Unicode Technical Standard for string 
> [searching|https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Searching] and 
> [collation|https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-collation.html#Collation_Type_Fallback].
