chenhao-db opened a new pull request, #55599: URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/55599
### What changes were proposed in this pull request? Add a new expression `is_valid_variant`. Returns true if the variant is valid, false if it is malformed. ### Why are the changes needed? This is useful when the data source is not completely known. Other variant expressions will throw a `MALFORMED_VARIANT` exception if any row is malformed, which can be inconvenient to use when only a subset of rows contains malformed variant. This new expression will return a boolean instead of throwing exceptions. ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change? Yes. A new SQL expression is added. ### How was this patch tested? Unit tests. ### Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling? No. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
