*Description*
|
|
|
|
Converts a multivalued expression into a single valued column containing the first value. This is most useful when reading from a function that emits multivalued columns in a known order like <<esql-split>>.
|
|
|
|
The order that <<esql-multivalued-fields, multivalued fields>> are read from
|
|
underlying storage is not guaranteed. It is *frequently* ascending, but don't
|
|
rely on that. If you need the minimum value use <<esql-mv_min>> instead of
|
|
`MV_FIRST`. `MV_MIN` has optimizations for sorted values so there isn't a
|
|
performance benefit to `MV_FIRST`.
