Github user marmbrus commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/11673#issuecomment-196436520 After thinking about it more, I wonder if `missingInput` was really the right way to handle this problem. Another option (that is used in every other operator now) is to require that an `Alias` is the only way to produce a new Attribute in a non-leaf node of a query plan. Thoughts?
