paul-rogers commented on issue #1829: DRILL-7096: Develop vector for canonical
Map<K,V>
URL: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1829#issuecomment-515716199
@KazydubB, when last this was discussed on the Drill dev mail list, there
was a suggestion for the type name from Ted (can't recall the suggested name.)
That name did seem a bit better than "true map". "True map" suggests that the
other "map" is a "false map."

> Develop vector for canonical Map<K,V>
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-7096
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7096
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Igor Guzenko
> Assignee: Bohdan Kazydub
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.17.0
>
>
> 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.
