########## datafusion/physical-expr/src/scalar_function.rs: ########## @@ -142,21 +142,11 @@ impl PhysicalExpr for ScalarFunctionExpr { } fn evaluate(&self, batch: &RecordBatch) -> Result<ColumnarValue> { - // evaluate the arguments, if there are no arguments we'll instead pass in a null array - // indicating the batch size (as a convention) - let inputs = match self.args.is_empty() { - // If the function supports zero argument, we pass in a null array indicating the batch size. - // This is for user-defined functions. - // MakeArray support zero argument but has the different behavior from the array with one null. Review Comment: The reason why we need to add special case for `make_array` is that we need to differentiate empty array `[]` and single null array `[null]`, previously we avoid additional null array by filter out `make_array`. Now, I think it is even not a good idea to add specialization to effect every functions, so remove it at all. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
