             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
