             Summary: VARIANT datatype aggregation
                 Key: SPARK-59150
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-59150
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Umbrella
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 5.0.0
            Reporter: Aleksandr Chernousov


Currently VARIANT datatype doesn't support aggregation functions (like GROUP BY 
and DISTINCT). Doing so requires some convoluted workarounds.

It would be a great addition to implement that as a natively-supported 
capability.

We should follow MapSort path, where we canonicalise a Variant before 
aggregating it
