Harish Butani commented on HIVE-4966:
-------------------------------------

For my understanding, are you adding a new function collect_array or are you enhancing collect_set to have a dedup=true/false option. 

The signatures of collect_map and collect_set/array are different. So we have to expose them as separate fns.

But open to sharing a single implementation. Makes sense. What specifically do you have in mind?

> Similar to Collect_Set. For e.g. on a Txn table
> {noformat}
> Txn(customer, product, amt)
> select customer, collect_map(product, amt)
> from txn
> group by customer
> {noformat}
> Would give you an activity map for each customer.
> Other thoughts:
> - have explode do the inverse on maps just as it does for sets today.
> - introduce a table function that outputs each value as a column. So in the e.g. above you get an activity matrix instead of a map.
