[jira] [Updated] (PHOENIX-5432) Refactor LiteralExpression to use the builder pattern

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-5432?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Christine Feng updated PHOENIX-5432:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
LiteralExpression is a mess. While it provides newConstant() APIs to build the object, it also provides two public constructors. There are 10 overloaded newConstant() methods and it is unclear which API to use in which case.

This should be refactored to use the builder pattern and final member variables. Ideally, getters such as getMaxLength() should be simple member variable accessors and other ad-hoc logic surrounding those variables should be handled correctly when setting their respective values.

 

Two solutions:
 # Consolidate the LiteralExpression newConstant() methods down into a single build() method
 ** Pros: easy to use since one build method can create all LiteralExpression objects
 ** Cons: requires adding 'throws SQLException' to a lot of method signatures where it wasn't necessary before
 # Create two build() methods - one for LiteralExpressions that necessitate deriving
