             Summary: Support merge for JSON_ARRAYAGG
                 Key: FLINK-24664
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-24664
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Table SQL / API
            Reporter: Ingo Bürk


For JSON_ARRAYAGG we currently do not support merge (required e.g. for hop 
windows) because arrays are order-sensitive, and we cannot ensure the correct 
order.

There are a few ways we could solve this:
* Making use of WITHIN GROUP syntax, which is supported by Calcite, but not yet 
for JSON_ARRAYAGG in the parser.
* Allowing incorrect behavior, but clearly documenting this case. In this case 
we should at least try to find a way to have a deterministic order of the 
accumulators to be merged as to not make the result non-deterministic.
* Try to actually solve this somehow such that behavior is correct.
