> This looks very suitable to be solved using Variant, why not? Hi @JingsongLi here are two reason we considering to introduce the shredding to the map 1. The map type is widely used in the internal usage, the migration to variant involves a large number of downstream function changes. 2. Regarding storage savings, the variant type does not offer a significant advantage. Based on the benchmark results, the actual reduction in storage usage with variant is very minimal compared to the dynamic column shredding of the map. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
