chenhao-db opened a new pull request, #47796:
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/47796
### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
The `xpath` expression incorrectly marks its return type as array of
non-null strings. However, it can actually return an array containing nulls.
This can cause NPE in code generation, such as query `select
coalesce(xpath(repeat('<a></a>', id), 'a')[0], '') from range(1, 2)`.
### Why are the changes needed?
It avoids potential failures in queries that uses the `xpath` expression.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No.
### How was this patch tested?
A new unit test. It would fail without the change in the PR.
### Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
No.
