[Good First Issues] StarRocks Function Tasks 2023

[wangsimo0]

Hi Rockstars,

This is a list of proposed function tasks. If you are new to StarRocks or just enthusiastic about building a great query engine, this is the right task list for you.
Also this is an open list, you are welcome to propose more tasks.

For others to get a better understanding of the function, proposed tasks should contain:

• Scenario: please add your scenario as detailed as possible, for example: get the closest timestamped data or the earliest timestamped data in grouped statistics, or to create a candlestick chart of a stock.
• If you have used it in other systems, please share your experience
• Please open an issue that contains the information above and @kateshaowanjou or copy the link in this issue.

Before you submit a pr, please notice that:

• Please @kateshaowanjou to book the issue, and add a comment in the issue you picked, so the issue won't be assigned to others. And
• Always discuss with the community about the design before actually developing, the input/output, the parameters, the function's name... Anything you need to build an elegant function.
• If you meet some trouble during the development, feel free to ask the community.
• If you are busy and not able to accomplish this issue, don't worry, please tell us or we'll reassign the issue to others after 1 month.

StarRocks contains Scalar Functions, Aggregate Functions, Window Functions, and Lambda Functions. The difficulty is Scalar < Aggregate = Window < Lambda.

[TBCCC]

Hi @kateshaowanjou Could pls assign width_bucket to me again？I have commented on that issue before.

[lqkkkkk]

Hi @kateshaowanjou, Could you please assign split_part to me? thx!

[mlimwxxnn]

[lqkkkkk]

REPEAT IT AGAIN. Hi @kateshaowanjou, Could you please assign split_part to me? thx!

[lqkkkkk]

Hi @kateshaowanjou , can you assign function-array_subscript to me？ I will make it, Thank you.

[kateshaowanjou]

@lqkkkkk There's another person is also interested in split_part. Can you take function-array_subscript instead?

[chenshaojin]

Hi @kateshaowanjou , Could you please assign array_agg(distinct) to me? thx!

[leiyang0324]

@kateshaowanjou Could you please assign substring_index to me? thx!

[kateshaowanjou]

@lqkkkkk Please let me know which one you want to take. Thanks! 😎

[mlimwxxnn]

[kateshaowanjou]

@mlimwxxnn OMG, you're so efficient.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[Moonm3n]

@Moonm3n Sorry currently rpad is taken. Are you willing to take another one?

Has anyone picked up CUME_DIST yet? If not, I would like to take this issue.

[byrantwithyou]

@kateshaowanjou I would like to pick the PERCENT_RANK issue. Would you assign it to me?

[byrantwithyou]

@kateshaowanjou Could you assign me the array_union_agg(Issue #22587 )? Since the PERCENT_RANK is taken by @Moonm3n (It makes more sense to have one person implemented both PERCENT_RANK and CUME_DIST because they are very similar)

[kateshaowanjou]

@byrantwithyou array_union_agg is assigned to you. Thanks a lot! ❤️

[wuxiaobai24]

@kateshaowanjou I would like to pick the oct and oct_length (issue #22803), Would you assign it to me?

Hi @kateshaowanjou Could pls assign array_subscript to me?thx, I've already opened a pr for my last task #22787 .

[kateshaowanjou]

Hi @kateshaowanjou, Could you please assign String: compress and uncompress to me? thx!
@Cai-Yao
Are you working on uncompress too? I tried to reach you, but couldn't find you. Are you in our wechat/slack group?

[vendanner]

Hi @kateshaowanjou Could pls assign NTH_VALUE to me? thx, I've already opened a pr for my last task #23348 .

[hongism]

Hi @kateshaowanjou Could pls assign pivot and unpivot to me? thanks!
