Viliam Durina commented on CALCITE-3780:
----------------------------------------

Just a note, in the PTF standard the descriptor can have multiple columns (see 
chapter 8.15):
{code:none}
<descriptor value constructor> ::=
    DESCRIPTOR <left paren> <descriptor column list> <right paren>

<descriptor column list> ::=
   <descriptor column specification> 
     [ { <comma> <descriptor column specification> }... ]
{code}
But it must contain at least one value. I don't think it's a good idea to make 
it optional, you would have to always name the next argument `inactive_gap`, 
which is not optional. It's not a good idea to have an optional argument in the 
middle of arguments list. It's enough to have it nullable.

Also I wonder how will you add a proper PTF support in the future in a 
backwards-compatible way. Looks like you're adding polymorphic table functions 
without supporting them.
