Re: Invoking UDF that doesn't have parameters without paranthesis

[Nagarajan Chinnasamy <na...@gmail.com>]

The  CURRENT_DATE is constructed using the SqlFunction constructor:

    public SqlFunction(String name,
        SqlKind kind,
        SqlReturnTypeInference returnTypeInference,
        SqlOperandTypeInference operandTypeInference,
        SqlOperandTypeChecker operandTypeChecker, SqlFunctionCategory
category)

Whereas the DrillSqlOperator (derived from SqlFunction) is using the
following constructor variation:

    super(new SqlIdentifier(name, SqlParserPos.ZERO),
        sqlReturnTypeInference,
        null,
        Checker.getChecker(argCountMin, argCountMax), //
SqlOperandTypeChecker
        null,
        SqlFunctionCategory.USER_DEFINED_FUNCTION);

In DrillSqlOperator (derived from SqlFunction), I  tried:

    1. setting OperandTypeChecker value to OperandTypes.NILADIC
    2. Overriding getSyntax method to return SqlSyntax.FUNCTION_ID

Both of the above did not help.

When invoked without parenthesis, I get the following exception:

0: jdbc:drill:zk=local> select session_id from (values(1));

Error: VALIDATION ERROR: From line 1, column 8 to line 1, column 17: Column
'session_id' not found in any table

Looking for your inputs to resolve this issue...

Best Regards,
Nagu.
