[jira] [Created] (SPARK-32759) Support for INET data type

Ruslan Dautkhanov created SPARK-32759:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Support for INET data type
                 Key: SPARK-32759
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-32759
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Spark Core
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.4.0, 3.1.0
            Reporter: Ruslan Dautkhanov


PostgreSQL has support for `INET` data type 

[https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/datatype-net-types.html]

We have a few customers that are interested in similar, native support for IP addresses, just like in PostgreSQL.

The issue with storing IP addresses as strings, is that most of the matches (like if an IP address belong to a subnet) in most cases can't take leverage of parquet bloom filters.
