Class ScalarFunctionDefinition

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    FunctionDefinition
    @Deprecated
@Internal
public final class ScalarFunctionDefinition
extends Object
implements FunctionDefinition
    Deprecated.
    Non-legacy functions can simply omit this wrapper for declarations.
    A "marker" function definition of a user-defined scalar function that uses the old type system stack.

    This class can be dropped once we introduce a new type inference.

        Deprecated.

        Deprecated.

      • getTypeInference

        public TypeInference getTypeInference​(DataTypeFactory factory)
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: FunctionDefinition
        Returns the logic for performing type inference of a call to this function definition.

        The type inference process is responsible for inferring unknown types of input arguments, validating input arguments, and producing result types. The type inference process happens independent of a function body. The output of the type inference is used to search for a corresponding runtime implementation.

        Instances of type inference can be created by using TypeInference.newBuilder().

        See BuiltInFunctionDefinitions for concrete usage examples.

      • isDeterministic

        public boolean isDeterministic()
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: FunctionDefinition
        Returns information about the determinism of the function's results.

        It returns true if and only if a call to this function is guaranteed to always return the same result given the same parameters. true is assumed by default. If the function is not purely functional like random(), date(), now(), ... this method must return false.

        Furthermore, return false if the planner should always execute this function on the cluster side. In other words: the planner should not perform constant expression reduction during planning for constant calls to this function.
