## Description

The `explode_json_array_double` table function accepts a JSON array, where each element is of double-precision floating-point type, and expands each floating-point number in the array into multiple rows, with each row containing one floating-point number. It is used in conjunction with LATERAL VIEW.

`explode_json_array_double_outer` is similar to `explode_json_array_double`, but the handling of NULL values is different.

If the JSON string itself is NULL, the `OUTER` version will return one row, with the value as NULL. The normal version will completely ignore such records.

If the JSON array is empty, the `OUTER` version will return one row, with the value as NULL. The normal version will return no results.

## Syntax
```sql
EXPLODE_JSON_ARRAY_DOUBLE(<json>)
EXPLODE_JSON_ARRAY_DOUBLE_OUTER(<json>)
```

## Return Value

| Parameter | Description |
| -- | -- |
| `<json>` | json type |

## Parameters

Expands the JSON array, creating a row for each element, returning a double-precision floating-point column.

## Examples

```sql
CREATE TABLE json_array_example (
    id INT,
    json_array STRING
)DUPLICATE KEY(id)
DISTRIBUTED BY HASH(id) BUCKETS AUTO
PROPERTIES (
"replication_allocation" = "tag.location.default: 1");
```

```sql
INSERT INTO json_array_example (id, json_array) VALUES
(1, '[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]'),
(2, '[1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4]'),
(3, '["apple", "banana", "cherry"]'),
(4, '[{"a": 1}, {"b": 2}, {"c": 3}]'),
(5, '[]'),
(6, 'NULL');
```

```sql
SELECT id, e1
FROM json_array_example
LATERAL VIEW EXPLODE_JSON_ARRAY_DOUBLE(json_array) tmp1 AS e1
WHERE id = 2;
```

```text
+------+------+
| id   | e1   |
+------+------+
|    2 |  1.1 |
|    2 |  2.2 |
|    2 |  3.3 |
|    2 |  4.4 |
+------+------+
```

```sql
SELECT id, e1
