org.apache.flink.table.expressions.FieldReferenceExpression

All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression, ResolvedExpression

@PublicEvolving
public final class FieldReferenceExpression

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

getInputIndex

public int getInputIndex()

getFieldIndex

public int getFieldIndex()

getOutputDataType

public DataType getOutputDataType()

Description copied from interface: ResolvedExpression

Returns the data type of the computation result.

Specified by:

getOutputDataType in interface ResolvedExpression

getResolvedChildren

public List<ResolvedExpression> getResolvedChildren()

Specified by:

getResolvedChildren in interface ResolvedExpression

asSummaryString

public String asSummaryString()

Description copied from interface: Expression

Returns a string that summarizes this expression for printing to a console. An implementation might skip very specific properties.

Specified by:

asSummaryString in interface Expression

Returns:

summary string of this expression for debugging purposes

asSerializableString

public String asSerializableString(SqlFactory sqlFactory)

Description copied from interface: ResolvedExpression

Returns a string that fully serializes this instance. The serialized string can be used for storing the query in, for example, a Catalog as a view.

Specified by:

asSerializableString in interface ResolvedExpression

Returns:

detailed string for persisting in a catalog

getChildren

public List<Expression> getChildren()

Specified by:

getChildren in interface Expression

accept

public <R> R accept(ExpressionVisitor<R> visitor)

Specified by:

accept in interface Expression

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
