---------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.17.0
> Strange Behavior for UDFs with ComplexWriter Output
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-7345
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7345
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.17.0
> Reporter: Charles Givre
> Assignee: Volodymyr Vysotskyi
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.17.0
>
>
> I wrote some UDFs recently and noticed some strange behavior when debugging
> them.
> This behavior only occurs when there is ComplexWriter as output.
> Basically, if the input to the UDF is nullable, Drill doesn't recognize the
> UDF at all. I've found that the only way to get Drill to recognize UDFs that
> have ComplexWriters as output is:
> * Use a non-nullable holder as input
> * Remove the null setting completely from the function parameters.
> This approach has a drawback in that if the function receives a null value,
> it will throw an error and halt execution. My preference would be to allow
> null handling, but I've not figured out how to make that happen.
> Note: This behavior ONLY occurs when using a ComplexWriter as output.
