hanyuzheng7 opened a new pull request, #22842:
URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/22842
## What is the purpose of the change
This is an implementation of MAP_UNION
Returns a map created by merging at least one map. These maps should have a
common map type. If there are overlapping keys, the value from 'map2' will
overwrite the value from 'map1', the value from 'map3' will overwrite the
value from 'map2', the value from 'mapn' will overwrite the value from
'map(n-1)'. If any of maps is null, return null.
## Brief change log
MAP_UNION for Table API and SQL
- Syntax:
`MAP_UNION(map1, ...)`
- Arguments:
map1:The first map to be merged.
map2:The second map to be merged.
mapn: the n map to be merged
- Returns: If there are overlapping keys, the value from 'map2' will
overwrite the value from 'map1', the value from 'map3' will overwrite the
value from 'map2', the value from 'mapn' will overwrite the value from
'map(n-1)'. If any of maps is null, return null.
- Examples:
Merging maps with unique keys:
```
map1 = ['a': 1, 'b': 2] map2 = ['c': 3, 'd': 4]
map_union(map1, map2)
Output: ['a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4]
```
Merging maps with overlapping keys:
```
map1 = ['a': 1, 'b': 2] map2 = ['b': 3, 'c': 4]
map_union(map1, map2)
Output: ['a': 1, 'b': 3, 'c': 4]
```
