James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-476:
--------------------------------------
Patch looks good, [~kliew]. I made the following few minor changes and will
commit later today:
- Added test and code to deal with type mismatch and size compatibility check
at compile time. In general, always best to do these checks as early as
possible. Checking when the DefaultValueExpression is created is too late, as
then the table would have an invalid default expression.
- Moved the check for isRowTimestamp to CreateTableCompiler to avoid necessity
of funky isIndexColumn check.
- Moved negative tests to QueryCompilerTest as compile time tests don't need to
spin up a mini cluster.
- Removed throw of SQLException from PTable.newKey() as it's never actually
thrown.
- Removed default expression if it evaluates to null as that doesn't add any
value.

> Support the declaration of a default value in the CREATE TABLE/VIEW statement
> like this:
> CREATE TABLE Persons (
> Pid int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
> LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
> FirstName varchar(255),
> Address varchar(255),
> City varchar(255) DEFAULT 'Sandnes'
> )
> To implement this, we'd need to:
> 1. add a new DEFAULT_VALUE key value column in SYSTEM.TABLE and pass through
> the value when the table is created (in MetaDataClient).
> 2. always set NULLABLE to ResultSetMetaData.columnNoNulls if a default value
> is present, since the column will never be null.
> 3. add a getDefaultValue() accessor in PColumn
> 4. for a row key column, during UPSERT use the default value if no value was
> specified for that column. This could be done in the PTableImpl.newKey method.
> 5. for a key value column with a default value, we can get away without
> incurring any storage cost. Although a little bit of extra effort than if we
> persisted the default value on an UPSERT for key value columns, this approach
> has the benefit of not incurring any storage cost for a default value.
> * serialize any default value into KeyValueColumnExpression
> * in the evaluate method of KeyValueColumnExpression, conditionally use
> the default value if the column value is not present. If doing partial
> evaluation, you should not yet return the default value, as we may not have
> encountered the the KeyValue for the column yet (since a filter evaluates
> each time it sees each KeyValue, and there may be more than one KeyValue
> referenced in the expression). Partial evaluation is determined by calling
> Tuple.isImmutable(), where false means it is NOT doing partial evaluation,
> while true means it is.
> * modify EvaluateOnCompletionVisitor by adding a visitor method for
> RowKeyColumnExpression and KeyValueColumnExpression to set
> evaluateOnCompletion to true if they have a default value specified. This
> will cause filter evaluation to execute one final time after all KeyValues
> for a row have been seen, since it's at this time we know we should use the
> default value.
