class Unique extends BaseConstraint
A UNIQUE constraint.
A UNIQUE constraint specifies one or more columns as unique columns. Such constraint is satisfied if and only if no two rows in a table have the same non-null values in the unique columns.
Spark doesn't enforce UNIQUE constraints but leverages them for query optimization. Each
constraint is either valid (the existing data is guaranteed to satisfy the constraint), invalid
(some records violate the constraint), or unvalidated (the validity is unknown). If the validity
is unknown, Spark will check #rely() to see whether the constraint is believed to be
true and can be used for query optimization.

Indicates whether the existing data in the table satisfies this constraint. The constraint can be valid (the data is guaranteed to satisfy the constraint), invalid (some records violate the constraint), or unvalidated (the validity is unknown). The validation status is usually managed by the system and can't be modified by the user.
