> `DOT` operator codegen (ExprCodeGenerator#generateCallExpression) has comment as following:
> {code:java}
> // due to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2162, expression such as
> // "array[1].a.b" won't work now.
> if (operands.size > 2) {
>   throw new CodeGenException(
>     "A DOT operator with more than 2 operands is not supported yet.")
> }
> {code}
> But `array[1].a.b` actually can work for flink job. `DOT` will be transform to `RexFieldAccess` for CALCITE-2542. And `generateDot` will never be invoked  except suppporting ITEM for ROW types.
> Simply, I think we can only delete the comment which is confusing.
