James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-1705: --------------------------------------- Good point about ARRAY_CAT, [~Dumindux]. Although it work for now (b/c we don't support multi-dimensional arrays), if we do down the road, it'd be ambiguous. Let's flag that case as an error then. Yes, correct - do as much checking as you can in the constructor. It's called *once* during compilation versus *once per row* for evaluate. For example, with the following: {code} SELECT ARRAY_APPEND(array_col, 1) FROM T; {code} assume that array_col is an INTEGER ARRAY, so this is valid, and assume T has 1B rows. You'd be doing the type validation 1B times instead of 1 time if you do type checking in the evaluate versus the constructor. > implement ARRAY_APPEND built in function > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: PHOENIX-1705 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-1705 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Dumindu Buddhika > Assignee: Dumindu Buddhika > Attachments: > PHOENIX-1705_implement_ARRAY_APPEND_built_in_function.patch > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
