Frank McQuillan commented on MADLIB-1270:
-----------------------------------------
Final implementation is a slight variation on above:
* Use the max array length of rows in `vector_col` to determine the number of
columns
* It means some of the generated rows in the output table may have NULLs if the
array for a particular row is smaller than the max.
* If the optional `feature_names` parameter is used, create the number of
columns based on size of this array. Pad/truncate the data to match.
Re-run failed examples from above:
{code}
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test;
CREATE TABLE test (id int, t text[]);
INSERT INTO test VALUES
(1, ARRAY['a','b']),
(2, ARRAY['c','d']),
(3, ARRAY['e','f']),
(4, ARRAY['g','h', 'i']),
(5, ARRAY['j']);
{code}
1) Set number of columns to 3:
{code}
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_out_5;
select madlib.vec2cols('test',
'test_out_5',
't',
array['c1','c2','c3'],
'id');
SELECT * FROM test_out_5 ORDER BY id;
{code}
produces
{code}
id | c1 | c2 | c3
----+----+----+----
1 | a | b |
2 | c | d |
3 | e | f |
4 | g | h | i
5 | j | |
(5 rows)
{code}
2) Set number of columns to 2:
{code}
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_out_5;
select madlib.vec2cols('test',
'test_out_5',
't',
array['c1','c2'],
'id');
SELECT * FROM test_out_5 ORDER BY id;
{code}
produces
{code}
id | c1 | c2
----+----+----
1 | a | b
2 | c | d
3 | e | f
4 | g | h
5 | j |
(5 rows)
{code}
3) Set number of columns to 1:
{code}
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_out_5;
select madlib.vec2cols('test',
'test_out_5',
't',
array['c1'],
'id');
SELECT * FROM test_out_5 ORDER BY id;
{code}
produces
{code}
id | c1
----+----
1 | a
2 | c
3 | e
4 | g
5 | j
(5 rows)
{code}
4) Default
{code}
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_out_5;
select madlib.vec2cols('test',
'test_out_5',
't',
NULL,
'id');
SELECT * FROM test_out_5 ORDER BY id;
{code}
produces
{code}
id | f1 | f2 | f3
----+----+----+----
1 | a | b |
2 | c | d |
3 | e | f |
4 | g | h | i
5 | j | |
(5 rows)
{code}

> Unexepcted behavior in vec2cols function

>
> Key: MADLIB-1270
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1270
> Project: Apache MADlib
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Module: Utilities
> Reporter: Rashmi Raghu
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: v1.15.1
>
>
> There is some unexpected behavior when vector column to be split contains
> different numbers of elements in the vectors. E.g.
> Input table:
> select * from test order by id;
> id | t
> ----+---------
> 1 | \{a,b}
> 2 | \{c,d}
> 3 | \{e,f}
> 4 | \{g,h,i}
> 5 | \{j}
> (5 rows)
>
> select madlib.vec2cols('test','test_out_5','t',array['c1','c2','c3'],'id');
> ERROR: plpy.Error: vec2cols: Mismatch between size of vector_col and number
> of cols in feature_names.
> CONTEXT: Traceback (most recent call last):
> PL/Python function "vec2cols", line 23, in <module>
> return vec2cols_obj.vec2cols(**globals())

> --- Update-----
> There are a couple of decisions to be made regarding supporting arrays of
> different lengths:
> -If we choose the array with maximal length in the vector_col, what do we do
> if the user's passed-in feature_names does not have the same number of
> elements?
> -What are the performance issues with looking through our vector_col for the
> array with maximal length?
> -How will we handle default feature names: will we create a feature name for
> every element of the longest array entry?
