These can be created directly through List<PColumn> pkColumns = table.getPKColumns(); List<Expression> unusedPkColumns = new LinkedHashSet(pkColumns.size()); for (int i = 0; i < pkColumns; i++) { unusedPkColumns.add(new RowKeyColumnExpression(pkColumns.get(i), new RowKeyValueAccessor(pkColumns, i)); } Then, here you can get rid of the special case, and instead after compilation, do the following: if (expression.isStateless()) { // Will be true for any constant (including a view constant) continue; } unusedPkColumns.remove(expression); We don't need to include an expression that evaluates to a constant in the index. You can test this by adding a function index on something like 1 + 2. In this way, you can remove the if statement completely. > Support functional indexes > -------------------------- > > Key: PHOENIX-514 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-514 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: James Taylor > Assignee: Thomas D'Silva > Labels: enhancement > > Instead of only defining the set of columns from the data table that make up > an index, you should be able to use expressions. For example: > CREATE INDEX upper_last_name_idx ON person (UPPER(last_name)) > Then in queries that use UPPER(last_name), we can replace them with column > references to the index table. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
