> Before implementing this proposal it is I think be possible with minimal changes to also to include a null part in the hashmap key, so the key would become something like (bool, Vec<u8>) as hashmap key @Dandandan I think this is a version of what I was trying to explain in the "Alternatives" considered section. I think we need an entire validity mask (as only some of the group keys might be null). Also, we would need to keep validity in the hash map's *values* to produce the correct output , but we could get that "for free" switching to `ScalarValue` ala https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/pull/788 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
