Description
Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
Support unnest for struct data type, an example of such feature in Duckdb
D CREATE TABLE t1 (s STRUCT(v VARCHAR, i INTEGER));
D INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (ROW('a', 42)),(ROW('b', 43));
D select unnest(s) from t1;
┌─────────┬───────┐
│ v │ i │
│ varchar │ int32 │
├─────────┼───────┤
│ a │ 42 │
│ b │ 43 │
└─────────┴───────┘
Describe the solution you'd like
We already have UnnestExec that support unnest on list data type, where each item in a list value will result into a new row into the output.
But unnest for struct does almost different thing, where number of output row is expected to stay the same as the input, and only the number of output columns increase. Maybe we should add a new executor for this type of operation like "StructUnnestExec"
