Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-2812:
--------------------------------------
It's a good start on recursive union, which is by far the most common and
useful case for recursive queries. I want to give some thought to the terms
"delta" (already used in the context of streaming queries), "table" (it seems
more like a relation than a table), and "recursive" (as [~wmoustafa] says, it's
more like iterative). And let's figure out how we can make this amenable to
extension for other kinds of iterative query (do we need an "iteration count"
field?).

> Key: CALCITE-2812
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2812
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.18.0
> Reporter: Stamatis Zampetakis
> Assignee: Julian Hyde
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: next
>
>
> In order to parse, optimize, and execute, recursive queries, expressed in
> SQL, datalog, SPARQL, or other high level language we need first to be able
> to represent recursive queries in relational algebra.
> The subject has been previously discussed in the dev list (see thread with
> title [Recursive query, graph query,
> Datalog|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/calcite-dev/201712.mbox/%3CCAPSgeESFyih9_hf9=uMWFN00BCR7sjf0T+FRY2=ary3ygm1...@mail.gmail.com%3E])
> where various ideas and optimizations were proposed.
> In this issue, we attempt to address only the algebraic part providing the
> following:
> # logical operator(s) for expressing recursion;
> # naive physical operator(s) for the Enumerable convention;
> # ability to create a recusive plan using the RelBuilder.
