Daniël Tom updated SPARK-51975:
-------------------------------
Description:
Currently, Spark requires a two-step process to create Variant maps from arrays:
# Create MapType using map_from_arrays/map_from_entries
# Convert to Variant using to_variant_object()
A direct variant_from_arrays/variant_from_entries implementation would simplify
to a one-step process, reduces memory usage, improve CPU efficiency.
Particularly benefit workloads with large map structures, high-volume.
Example:
||Function||Description||Example||
|variant_from_entries|Transforms an array of key-value pair entries (structs
with two fields) into a variant object|{code:java}
SELECT variant_from_entries(array(struct('1', 'a'), struct('2',
'b')));{code}{code:java}
{"1":"a", "2":"b"}{code}|
|variant_from_arrays|Transforms two arrays of
keys and values respectively, into a new variant object.|{code:java}
SELECT variant_from_arrays(array('1', '2'), array('a', 'b')); {code}{code:java}
{"1":"a", "2":"b"}{code}|
