Yuchuan Huang updated SPARK-53947:
----------------------------------
Priority: Major (was: Critical)
> Let approx_top_k handle NULLs
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-53947
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-53947
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 4.1.0
> Reporter: Yuchuan Huang
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> Spark uses FrequentItemsSketch of Apache DataSketches in the approx_top_k
> function, which does not consider NULL values by itself
> ([https://github.com/apache/datasketches-java/blob/main/src/main/java/org/apache/datasketches/frequencies/FrequentItemsSketch.java#L587).]
> However, NULL value could be meaningful in some use cases and users might
> want to include NULL in the approx_top_k output. Therefore, this ticket aims
> to add a nullCounter associated with the FrequentItemsSketch to count for
> NULL in the approx_top_k aggregation.
