Ted Dunning commented on DRILL-4223: ------------------------------------ This is actually related to list_aggregate and some kind of inverse to flatten/unnest. My guess is that if we had a JSON constructor, this would be just about as good. The idea would be that columns could be specified to determine the key and value in an object. Aggregation would be the final step to get what John wants. Aggregation over structures is an open question since you don't necessarily know the keys in a structure. It would be nice to be able to apply an aggregation function to all members of the structure without knowing which members exist. > PIVOT and UNPIVOT to rotate table valued expressions > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DRILL-4223 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4223 > Project: Apache Drill > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Execution - Codegen, SQL Parser > Reporter: Ashwin Aravind > Priority: Major > > Capability to PIVOT and UNPIVOT table values expressions which are results of > a SELECT query -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
