Re: How to match root node in a HEP Rule?

Hi Ian,

Is there any specific reason or use case that you have to match the root node 
and find the parent node in your customized rule?

Thanks,

Not currently. One workaround would be to create 'class MyRoot extends
SingleRel', add it as the root of the tree, and write your rules to
match on it.

By design, the only way to find the parents of a RelNode are to write
a rule that matches those parents. This ensures that rules will work
in the Volcano planner, where a RelNode can have many parents.

How to match root node in a HEP Rule?

[Ian Bertolacci]

Hello,
I am trying to write a rule that matches (among other things) the root of a 
RelNode tree.

Unfortunately, it seems that HepRuleCall.parents is only initialized and 
populated if the rule extends CommonRelSubExpr, which doesn’t really apply in 
my case.
(see: 
https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/plan/hep/HepPlanner.java#L526)

Is there a way to identify a node as being a root node during RelRule.match? Or 
more generally, is there a way to collect the parents of an arbitrary RelNode?

Thanks.
