Jacques Nadeau commented on DRILL-307:
--------------------------------------
I might suggest that we hold it in Drill for the next couple months and work
the kinks out of it before we do a pull request. I think there are probably
some edge cases that cause pain that we haven't yet figured out and it'll be
easier for us iterate in Drill until we get things stabilized.
> Remove _MAP[] from Drill SQL
> ----------------------------

> Key: DRILL-307
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-307

> Currently while executing SQL we need to use _MAP['columnname'] in the select
> statements.
> The problem while using select statements with columnnames instead of
> _MAP['columnname'] is that Optiq tries to verify that these columns exist in
> the schema and raises validation errors.
> The way we've solved the problem is to override the 'rowtype' returned to
> Optiq while creating a Drill table. We have defined a new class
> RelDataTypeDrillImpl which is the 'rowtype' returned to Optiq and will be
> invoked for any validation purposes. RelDataTypeDrillImpl always returns true
> when queried if a certain field exists in the table, with its type as 'ANY'.
> This gets us past the validation in Optiq and allows us to use column names
> directly in select statements.
