[PR] test: add sql-file test confirming fallback on parquet variant reads [datafusion-comet]
andygrove opened a new pull request, #4021:
URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/4021
## Which issue does this PR close?
Closes #.
## Rationale for this change
Comet does not support Spark 4.0's `VARIANT` data type, so scans exposing a VariantType column must fall back to Spark. There is no regression test pinning this behavior today. If a future change silently lets a VariantType column through the scan, we would only notice through runtime errors or wrong results. A targeted sql-file test locks in the fallback contract.
## What changes are included in this PR?
- New file `spark/src/test/resources/sql-tests/expressions/misc/variant.sql`
- Gated with `-- MinSparkVersion: 4.0` so it is skipped on Spark 3.4 / 3.5 via `CometSqlFileTestSuite`
- Creates parquet-backed tables with a `VARIANT` column (directly and nested inside `STRUCT<v: VARIANT>`), populated via `parse_json`
- Uses `query expect_fallback(Unsupported v of type VariantType)` on five queries covering projection, `variant_get` extraction, `variant_get` in a predicate, a `COUNT(*)` with a not-null filter, and a struct-containing-variant projection
## How are these changes tested?
Ran the new test under the Spark 4.0 profile:
```
./mvnw test -Pspark-4.0 -Dsuites="org.apache.comet.CometSqlFileTestSuite variant" -Dtest=none
```
All five queries in the file fall back with the expected reason and the suite reports `Tests: succeeded 1, failed 0`.
