Zhenzhong Xu updated FLINK-33765:
---------------------------------
Description:
Flink SQL currently supports COLLECT, which returns a multiset, however, given
support for casting from multiset to other types (especially array/list) is
*very* limited, see
[here,|https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/docs/content/docs/dev/table/types.md#casting]
this is creating lots of headaches for ease of use.
Can we support COLLECT_LIST as a built-in system function? (I believe Spark
supports it)
