Yueyang Qiu updated BEAM-9179:
------------------------------
Summary: Simplify types in Beam ZetaSQL (was: Better story for types in
Beam ZetaSQL)
> Simplify types in Beam ZetaSQL
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-9179
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9179
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: dsl-sql-zetasql
> Reporter: Yueyang Qiu
> Assignee: Yueyang Qiu
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, how types work in Beam ZetaSQL is very confusing: code that does
> type conversion between Calcite/Beam/ZetaSQL type systems are everywhere and
> is likely to be not consistent. In addition, the recent migration to
> BeamZetaSqlCalcRel makes the situation even worse: it adds another layer for
> type conversion and makes a lot of code (for making ZetaSQL functions
> manually) obsolete. This makes debugging and supporting new features very
> hard. A few examples:
> * Support new ZetaSQL types (e.g. DATE/TIME/DATETIME)
> * Fix the long-standing precision & timezone issue of TIMESTMAP type
> * Support BeamSQL query parameters
> Therefore, I propose we work on the following items to make the story of Beam
> ZetaSQL type clearer:
> * Define a clear mapping between Calcite/Beam/ZetaSQL types and values
> * Refactor the codebase to move all type conversion code to a single source
> of truth
> * Add thorough testing for it
> * Remove obsolete code that is added to make functions work before
> BeamZetaSqlCalcRel
