Igor Guzenko reassigned DRILL-7096:
-----------------------------------
Assignee: Bohdan Kazydub (was: Igor Guzenko)
> Develop vector for canonical Map<K,V>
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-7096
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7096
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Igor Guzenko
> Assignee: Bohdan Kazydub
> Priority: Major
>
> Canonical Map<K,V> datatype can be represented using combination of three
> value vectors:
> keysVector - vector for storing keys of each map
> valuesVector - vector for storing values of each map
> offsetsVector - vector for storing of start indexes of next each map
> So it's not very hard to create such Map vector, but there is a major issue
> with such map representation. It's hard to search maps values by key in such
> vector, need to investigate some advanced techniques to make such search
> efficient. Or find other more suitable options to represent map datatype in
> world of vectors.
> After question about maps, Apache Arrow developers responded that for Java
> they don't have real Map vector, for now they just have logical Map type
> definition where they define Map like: List< Struct<key:key_type,
> value:value_type> >. So implementation of value vector would be useful for
> Arrow too.
