+ * The main validation procedure is separated into two phases:<p>

(#resolveExpressions(TableEnvironment)):

+ * <li>translate UnresolvedFieldReference into ResolvedFieldReference
+ * using child operator's output</li>
+ * <li>translate Call(UnresolvedFunction) into solid Expression</li>
+ * <li>generate alias names for query output</li>

+ * LogicalNode validation (#validate(TableEnvironment)):
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>check no UnresolvedFieldReference exists any more</li>
+ * <li>check if all expressions have children of needed type</li>
+ * <li>check each logical operator have desired input</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * Once we pass the validation phase, we can safely convert LogicalNode
into Calcite's RelNode.

Yes, renaming the method would be good. I thought, we could also add a
`toRelNode()` method which actually returns a `RelNode` in addition to the
renamed method. The renamed method would then only be required for subclasses
of `LogicalNode` and other classes would not need to call `build()` on the
`RelBuilder` but receive a finalized `RelNode`.
> Add a validation phase before construct RelNode using TableAPI

> Key: FLINK-3754
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3754
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table API
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Yijie Shen
> Assignee: Yijie Shen
>
> Unlike sql string's execution, which have a separate validation phase before
> RelNode construction, Table API lacks the counterparts and the validation is
> scattered in many places.
> I suggest to add a single validation phase and detect problems as early as
> possible.
