Github user viirya commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/15807 If we only evaluate the subexpressions before they are used. Wouldn't it cause more than once evaluation? E.g., if (isNull(subexpr)) { ... } else { AssertNotNull(subexpr) // subexpr2 .... SomeExpr(AssertNotNull(subexpr)) // SomeExpr(subexpr2) } if (isNull(subexpr)) { ... } else { AssertNotNull(subexpr) // subexpr2 .... SomeExpr2(AssertNotNull(subexpr)) // SomeExpr2(subexpr2) } SomeExpr3(AssertNotNull(subexpr)) // SomeExpr3(subexpr2) If we evaluate `subexpr2` before it is used, we might evaluate it three times at the end.
