             Summary: Expand Star when creating a struct
                 Key: SPARK-11329
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-11329
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
            Reporter: Yin Huai


It is pretty common for customers to do regular extractions of update data from 
an external datasource (e.g. mysql or postgres). While this is possible today, 
the syntax is a little onerous. With some small improvements to the analyzer I 
think we could make this much easier.
Goal: Allow users to execute the following two queries as well as their 
dataframe equivalents
to find the most recent record for each key

{{SELECT max(struct(timestamp, *)) as mostRecentRecord GROUP BY key}}

to unnest the struct from above.

{{SELECT mostRecentRecord.* FROM data}}
