Summary

Apache Iceberg does not support non-optional union types (e.g. [“int”, “string”]), nor does Apache Spark. This PR enables Iceberg to read non-optional union types by converting them into struct representations for Apache ORC format.

Representation

The struct representations converted from non-option union types are consistent with non-optional union support added in Trino in trinodb/trino#3483.

Deep nested non-optional union types are supported.

Examples

Basic

[“int”, “string”] -> struct<tag int, field0 int, field1 string>

Single type

[“int”] -> int

Related PRs

TODO

  • Add spec for non-optional union types support

  • Handle single type union (e.g. [“int”]) as a primitive type

  • Support in non-Spark environments (e.g. iceberg-data, flink, hive, etc.)

  • Support for schema pruning within a complex union
