Spark SUM/AVG exports currently declare result types that differ from their standard functions. Use Spark extension definitions for decimal and i64 inputs, including window calls, and carry explicit overflow modes. Retain optimized SUM's i64 accumulator and final unscaled decimal conversion through make_decimal or try_make_decimal with a type argument.

Reversing DecimalAggregates changes AVG from 0.000001 to 0.000002 for 20,000 DECIMAL(10,2) rows with one 0.03 and the rest zero. Preserve the optimized arithmetic and protect imported decimal calls from that rewrite. Decimal overflow can still depend on physical buffer materialization.

Design question: this uses Spark-specific encoding by default, including BIGINT calls. Should it be opt-in instead? This revisits the interoperability choice in PR 386.

Closes #1435

BREAKING CHANGE: Decimal and i64 SUM/AVG exports now require consumers to implement extension:substrait:spark and the unscaled_value, make_decimal and try_make_decimal scalar functions when referenced. These aggregate declarations support INITIAL_TO_RESULT only; staged calls are rejected.

Use Spark extension declarations for decimal and i64 SUM/AVG so result types, accumulators and overflow modes match Spark. Preserve unscaled decimal values and optimized window calls, and list the functions in the dialect.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Spark-specific support for exporting and importing decimal and 64-bit integer SUM and AVG aggregates, including window aggregates.
    • Added Spark-compatible result types and overflow behavior for these aggregates.
    • Added decimal constructor conversions, including nullable results when precision overflows.
    • Decimal AVG operations can now be optimized while preserving their results.
  • Limitations
    • Staged aggregation is not supported; only initial-to-result aggregation is available.

The Spark extension adds decimal and i64 SUM and AVG declarations, export and import support, decimal conversion functions, and handling for optimized decimal aggregate and window expressions.

Changes: Spark aggregate interoperability

Explanation

[#1435] Spark SUM and AVG declarations use Spark result types and explicit overflow modes. The exporter preserves optimized decimal arithmetic and validates result types. Import protection prevents decimal aggregate rewrites. Automated tests cover values, types, overflow, windows, and rejected staged calls.

Test the unmodified optimized TRY plan.

This test restores TRY before export, so it cannot detect a lost mode in the source plan. Add coverage for the unmodified plan. Check that a successful export preserves TRY overflow behavior, or that export rejects a plan whose mode cannot be recovered.

- Around line 77-87: Update the aggregate export logic around the `Sum` case and
`overflow` selection to preserve TRY semantics for optimized low-precision
decimal sums under ANSI mode, so overflow returns null rather than raising an
error. Preserve the original evaluation mode before optimization when available;
if it cannot be recovered, reject the export instead of emitting `ERROR`.

Check aggregate declarations against the aggregate set.

A window-only key such as row_number: can pass the aggregate assertion. Use the window collection for windows; it already includes aggregate variants.

Separate the declaration sets
