---------------------------------------

             Summary: UnsupportedOperationException with unclear message is shown when SqlNode with unknown type is validated
                 Key: CALCITE-2627
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2627
             Project: Calcite
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Bohdan Kazydub
            Assignee: Julian Hyde


If RelDataType for SqlNode is unknown then SqlValidatorImpl#{color:#ffc66d}getValidatedNodeType{color}(SqlNode node) (see https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/59b76701d9c805f51b0929577ca604fdbfe00b0b/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/sql/validate/SqlValidatorImpl.java#L1555) throws Util.needToImplement(node), which is the following:

{code:java}
public static RuntimeException needToImplement(Object o) {
    String description = null;
    if (o != null) {
      description = o.getClass().toString() + ": " + o.toString();
    }
    throw new UnsupportedOperationException(description);
}
{code}
Javadoc for the method dictates that the method 'Returns [in a sense of "throws"] a RuntimeException indicating that a particular feature has not been implemented, but should be.'. As not every unknown type should be implemented, call to this method should be replaced with throwing of an RuntimeException (UnsupportedOperationException, perhaps) containing a more helpful message, something like 'Unknown type: [node.toString()]'.
