### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? I would like to take a string like "a / b / c" and return [a, b, c] as an array. ### Describe the solution you'd like A function like the Postgres `string_to_array` function ### Describe alternatives you've considered `split_part` can split a string and return a single part based on the position, but if the number of delimiters in the string isn't known in advance, this doesn't work well. I haven't seen any other functions that would allow this, but I may have overlooked something. ### Additional context I am preparing a PR for this, but wanted to create an issue first. For example, it would be good to know: - is the postgres function string_to_array a good one to model this off, or if a different SQL flavour is preferred. - would this be better created as a string function or an array function. I think string function, but I'm not sure - if I've totally overlooked something that solves this problem already, or if someone else is working on something similar - whether this will be a welcome addition, or if there is a plan for something different -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
