No, actually it was an attempt to indicate that I hadn't addressed the method description (the part before the parameters), and not intended to mean "otherwise same as above". I was trying to quickly at least document the parameter (add the reference to the other existing text) without taking time to fill in the whole documentation comment. Would simply leaving the method description part blank be better than using "..."?

I would possibly recommend moving the longer comment above to here, in which case I think it would be possible to just put "..." above all of the alternative implementations of this method. I think it makes the most sense to put the comment describing the general idea of the functions purpose above the version that also describes what all of parameters can do. > > â > Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub <https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/93/files#r35042277>. > -- Daniel Barclay MapR Technologies
