Haisheng Yuan commented on CALCITE-3786:
----------------------------------------
The reason is that in Calcite RexNode doesn't have MEMO group, that causes a
lot of complexity. In Cascades framework, RexNode also has MEMO group, which
can give us huge benefits, by eliminating the need of digests. Optimizer
following this way is pretty much scalable.
> Add Digest (HashStrategy?) interface to enable efficient hashCode/equals for
> RexNode, RelNode

> Key: CALCITE-3786
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-3786
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.21.0
> Reporter: Vladimir Sitnikov
> Priority: Major
>
> Current digests for RexNode, RelNode, RelType, and similar cases use String
> concatenation.
> It is easy to implement, however, it has drawbacks:
> 1) String objects cannot be reused. For instance, RexCall has operands,
> however, the digest is duplicated. It causes extra memory use and extra CPU
> for string copying
> 2) There's no way to have multiple #toString() methods. RelType might need
> multiple digests: "including field names", "excluding field names".
> A suggested resolution might be behind the lines of
> {code:java}
> class Digest { // immutable
> final int hashCode; // speedup hashCode and equals
> final Object[] contents; // The values are either other Digest objects or
> Strings
> String toString(); // e.g. for debugging purposes
> int compareTo(Digest); // e.g. for debugging purposes.
> }
> {code}
> Note how fields in Kotlin are aligned much better, and it makes it easier to
> read:
> {code:java}
> class Digest { // immutable
> val hashCode: Int // speedup hashCode and equals
> val contents: Array<Any> // The values are either other Digest objects or
> Strings
> fun toString(): String // e.g. for debugging purposes
> fun compareTo(other: Digest): Int // e.g. for debugging purposes.
> }
> {code}
> Then the digest for RexCall could be the bits relevant to RexCall itself +
> digests of the operands (which can be reused as is)
