Chunhui Shi created CALCITE-2159: ------------------------------------ Summary: UNNEST to support 'ANY' type Key: CALCITE-2159 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2159 Project: Calcite Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Chunhui Shi Assignee: Julian Hyde
Not all data source has type information about the input of UNNEST during parsing stage. In Drill, if we want to support UNNEST(table.column) syntax for a document with nested structure, for now, these two things will happen: SqlUnnestOperator.inferReturnType will use unknown operand's type 'ANY' so isStruct will be false, thus the the following code will hit NULL reference. Another issue is, Should UnnestnameSpace.getTable return a table so when other parts of the query tried to refer to some columns coming out of UNNEST, we know the query is asking for a column from the table, so the parser could add the column to the RowType of UNNEST? An example query is like this: SELECT AVG(o.o_amount) AS avg_orders FROM UNNEST(c.orders) AS o -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
