Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-2439:
--------------------------------------
bq. They might want to use multiple algorithms at the same time for a good
reason
In that case, we provide a combined algorithm:
case-insensitive-prefix-with-camel.
bq. Do you know the proper way to expose that via API?
I think the table function should return the hints in order (most desirable
first). I think it adds too much complexity if there is more than one table
function.
If it simplifies things, imagine the table function returning a JSON string
with nested, ordered collections. I don't think it's that important that the
return is strictly relational.
> Smart complete for SqlAdvisor
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: CALCITE-2439
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2439
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.17.0
> Reporter: Vladimir Sitnikov
> Assignee: Julian Hyde
> Priority: Major
>
> Current implementation of SqlAdvisor provides no way to perform smart
> complete.
> For example,
> 1) A valid completion for {{select cd^ from clients}} might be {{select
> client_id from clients}}.
> That is completion is valid if all input characters are represented in final
> word in a proper sequence.
> 2) Completion might be case-insensitive if all input characters have the same
> upper/lower case.
> 3) "Contains" might be valid completion option as well. That is {{select id^
> from ...}} might be completed to \{{select client_id from...} as well.
> Of course, exact match should be sorted the first, then partial matches and
> so on.
> It is not clear if smart complete logic belongs to {{SqlAdvisor}} or not.
> Current client-facing API provides no way to skip default "case-sensitive
> prefix filtering", so there's no way to implement smart complete at the
> client side only.
> It is not clear where this logic belongs:
> a) Ultimate solution would be "skip filtering the identifiers at SqlAdvisor
> side". Then client can filter and sort the way it wants. The downside of the
> approach is it would force client to pipe large amount of items across JDBC
> bridge
> b) It might be helpful if Calcite had pre-defined implementations that would
> filter and sort the results. The good part is it simplifies client
> development, however various clients might have various filters applied.
