Herman van Hovell commented on SPARK-18134:
-------------------------------------------
Maps are not comparable. This makes them unusable as a join and grouping keys.
We generally try to be as compatible with Hive as we can be, but in this case I
am not sure that we should do this.
> SQL: MapType in Group BY and Joins not working
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-18134
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18134
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.6.2, 2.0.0, 2.0.1
> Reporter: Christian Zorneck
>
> Since version 1.5 and issue SPARK-9415, MapTypes can no longer be used in
> GROUP BY and join clauses. This makes it incompatible to HiveQL. So, a Hive
> feature was removed from Spark. This makes Spark incompatible to various
> HiveQL statements.
