gabotechs opened a new pull request, #14413:
URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/14413

   ## Which issue does this PR close?
   
   Closes #12371.
   
   ## Rationale for this change
   
   Completing ARRAY_AGG functionality as a prerequisite for adding the full 
functionality of STRING_AGG in https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/14412
   
   ## What changes are included in this PR?
   
   Adds a Postgres-style support for DISTINCT + ORDER_BY functionality, 
allowing users to issue statements like:
   ```sql
   SELECT ARRAY_AGG(DISTINCT col ORDER BY col) FROM table;
   ```
   
   Note that there's a limitation that prohibits ordering by an expression that 
is not the same as the ARRAY_AGG argument. For example, the following queries 
are invalid:
   ```sql
   SELECT ARRAY_AGG(DISTINCT col ORDER BY other_col) FROM table; 
   SELECT ARRAY_AGG(DISTINCT col ORDER BY concat(col, '')) FROM table; 
   ```
   
   ## Are these changes tested?
   
   yes, both in unit tests and sqllogictests
   
   ## Are there any user-facing changes?
   
   Users will now be able to issue ARRAY_AGG calls mixing DISTINCT and ORDER_BY 
clauses
