Class SubsequenceInputTypeStrategy

java.lang.Object

org.apache.flink.table.types.inference.strategies.SubsequenceInputTypeStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

InputTypeStrategy

@Internal
public final class SubsequenceInputTypeStrategy
extends Object
implements InputTypeStrategy

An InputTypeStrategy that lets you apply other strategies for subsequences of the actual arguments.

The SequenceInputTypeStrategy should be preferred in most of the cases. Use this strategy only if you need to apply a common logic to a subsequence of the arguments.

Method Detail

getArgumentCount

public ArgumentCount getArgumentCount()

Description copied from interface: InputTypeStrategy

Initial input validation based on the number of arguments.

Specified by:

getArgumentCount in interface InputTypeStrategy

inferInputTypes

public Optional<List<DataType>> inferInputTypes(CallContext callContext,
                                                boolean throwOnFailure)

Description copied from interface: InputTypeStrategy

Main logic for inferring and validating the input arguments. Returns a list of argument data types that are valid for the given call. If the returned types differ from CallContext.getArgumentDataTypes(), a casting operation can be inserted. An empty result means that the given input is invalid.

Specified by:

inferInputTypes in interface InputTypeStrategy

Parameters:

callContext - provides details about the function call

throwOnFailure - whether this function is allowed to throw an ValidationException with a meaningful exception in case the inference is not successful or if this function should simply return an empty result.

Returns:

three-state result for either "true, same data types as arguments", "true, but arguments must be casted to returned data types", or "false, no inferred data types could be found"

CallContext.newValidationError(String, Object...)

getExpectedSignatures

public List<Signature> getExpectedSignatures(FunctionDefinition definition)

Description copied from interface: InputTypeStrategy

Returns a summary of the function's expected signatures.

Specified by:

getExpectedSignatures in interface InputTypeStrategy

Parameters:

definition - the function definition that defines the function currently being called.
