> Key: SPARK-27134
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27134
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.4.0
> Environment: Spark 2.4, scala 2.11.11
> Reporter: Mike Trenaman
> Assignee: Dilip Biswal
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.4.2, 3.0.0
>
>
> The array_distinct function introduced in spark 2.4 is producing strange results when used on an array column which contains a nested array. The resulting output can still contain duplicate values, and furthermore, previously distinct values may be removed.
> This is easily repeatable, e.g. with this code:
> val df = Seq(
> Seq(Seq(1, 2), Seq(1, 2), Seq(1, 2), Seq(3, 4), Seq(4, 5))
> ).toDF("Number_Combinations")
> val dfWithDistinct = df.withColumn("distinct_combinations",
> array_distinct(col("Number_Combinations")))
>
> The initial 'df' DataFrame contains one row, where column 'Number_Combinations' contains the following values:
> [[1, 2], [1, 2], [1, 2], [3, 4], [4, 5]]
>
> The array_distinct function run on this column produces a new column containing the following values:
> [[1, 2], [1, 2], [1, 2]]
>
> As you can see, this contains three occurrences of the same value (1, 2), and furthermore, the distinct values (3, 4), (4, 5) have been removed.
