             Summary: The token function validation
                 Key: CASSANDRA-13878
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13878
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Alex Denisov
            Priority: Minor


Currently, there are few issues with the token() function validation.
First one:

It is possible to call the function with a wrong number of arguments, which 
could lead to a Null Pointer Exception.
Here is an example:

{code}
> CREATE TABLE test(k1 text, k2 text, PRIMARY KEY((k1, k2)));
> INSERT INTO test(k1, k2) VALUES('foo', 'bar');
> SELECT token(k1) FROM test;
ServerError: java.lang.NullPointerException
{code}

The fix is trivial, here is an example: 
https://github.com/apache/cassandra/compare/trunk...AlexDenisov:token_crash

However, it uncovers the second issue.
The token function can be called either without parameters or with N parameters 
(where N = # of partition keys). The patch would not allow this to happen.
The same goes for a function call validation as a part of where clause:

{code}
> SELECT * FROM test where token(k1, k2) > token();
InvalidRequest: Error from server: code=2200 [Invalid query] message="Incorrect 
number of arguments specified for function system.token : (text, text) -> 
bigint (expected 2, found 0)"
{code}

I do not see any obvious solution here. Since the token() function is special I 
could only suggest extending the `Function` class with an additional method 
(e.g. isTokenFunction()), and validate the number of passed parameters 
accordingly.
