Github user jinfengni commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/439#issuecomment-200907542 My understanding is adding another operator will not work, since Calcite parser has put the built-in between operator in the sql expression tree[1]. The validator logic will simply use the build-in operator, even we add another operator. [1] https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/master/core/src/main/codegen/templates/Parser.jj#L2564
