Jimexist opened a new issue #632: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/632
We do allow query outputs (i.e. record batch schema and physical plan schema) to contain columns with same names. This is quite common in join queries where more than one relations contain the same column name. My previous comment was more around the inconsistency on how window function names are generated in logical plane v.s. physical plane. For example, in physical plane, we don't take `partition by clause, order by clause, and window frames` into account when creating the column name. If we don't want to maintain this consistency, I think we should update this invariant instead: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/master/docs/specification/invariants.md#the-physical-schema-is-invariant-under-planning. https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/master/docs/specification/output-field-name-semantic.md contains some rules on how we want to generate field names for physical schema. We don't have any rules for window functions at the moment, so maybe worth formalize it in that document as well. __Originally posted by @houqp in https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/pull/622#issuecomment-868961912__ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
