From e9009e237a708f235811bef70c6d413ecdebb57e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eeshan Bembi Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 20:02:23 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 01/21] feat: add minimal array concatenation support to concat function Enable concat() to handle arrays like array_concat, returning actual array concatenation instead of string representation. For example: - concat([1, 2], [3, 4]) now returns [1, 2, 3, 4] - concat("abc", 123, NULL, 456) returns "abc123456" Implementation: - Updated signature to variadic_any() to accept mixed types - Added simple runtime array detection (7 lines of core logic) - Enhanced scalar handling for non-string types - Full backward compatibility for all string concatenation - Comprehensive test coverage for arrays and mixed types Fixes #18020 --- datafusion/functions/src/string/concat.rs | 223 ++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 203 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/datafusion/functions/src/string/concat.rs b/datafusion/functions/src/string/concat.rs index 3b53660463d44..6608ab760a29f 100644 --- a/datafusion/functions/src/string/concat.rs +++ b/datafusion/functions/src/string/concat.rs @@ -65,14 +65,56 @@ impl Default for ConcatFunc { impl ConcatFunc { pub fn new() -> Self { - use DataType::*;

Key improvements: - Fast path for single-row array concatenation - Efficient multi-row processing with reduced complexity - Better memory management and reduced allocations - Cooperative-friendly design that avoids long-running sync operations Fixes failing tests: - execution::coop::agg_grouped_topk_yields - execution::coop::sort_merge_join_yields All functionality preserved: - Array concatenation: concat(make_array(1,2,3), make_array(4,5)) → [1,2,3,4,5] - String concatenation: original performance maintained - Multi-row, null handling, and type safety preserved --- datafusion/functions/src/string/concat.rs | 574 ++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 429 insertions(+), 145 deletions(-) diff --git a/datafusion/functions/src/string/concat.rs b/datafusion/functions/src/string/concat.rs index 2ad7bdcd38948..077fb777ec4d0 100644 --- a/datafusion/functions/src/string/concat.rs +++ b/datafusion/functions/src/string/concat.rs @@ -15,8 +15,12 @@ // specific language governing permissions and limitations // under the License. -use arrow::array::{as_largestring_array, Array, ArrayRef, AsArray};
