Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-4156:
--------------------------------------
How did you end up with the empty ReflectiveRelMetadataProvider. Developer
error, right? The developer would have found that error the moment they ran a
test with asserts enabled.
I disagree with you and [~amaliujia]. The solution is not to change every
single assert to an 'if ... throw'. The solution is for developers to run with
asserts enabled. Calcite uses asserts. Change your development process
accordingly.
> ReflectiveRelMetadataProvider constructor should throw an exception (instead
> of assertion) when called with an empty map

> ReflectiveRelMetadataProvider's constructor verifies that it is not created
> with an empty map, using an assertion. However, this is not the most reliable
> way of verifying this situation, since assertions can be deactivated. In such
> scenario, we could silently end up having an invalid
> ReflectiveRelMetadataProvider, with no actual methods attached.
> Also, since the map is private and has no getter, there is no way for a
> caller module to verify this situation on its side.
> For this reason, it is proposed a minor change: replace the assertion with an
> IllegalArgumentException, which will work in 100% of the cases and will
> always prevent constructing an invalid ReflectiveRelMetadataProvider.
