Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-5230:
--------------------------------------
Quick review:
* Should {{PERCENTILE_CONT}} be handled in a similar way?
* I don't like the idea of pretending that the ORDER BY expression is an
argument. It might work for this piece of code, but confuse another. That's why
I suggested a sub-class of SqlCallBinding to make the extra information
available.
* The anonymous class should probably become an inner class.
* The current comments on an anonymous class are a bit tentative. That's
totally appropriate for a first PR, but let's firm them up so that future
maintainers have no doubt what the class is for.
* I saw a few copy-pasted methods in the anonymous class and wondered whether
these could be inherited.

> Key: CALCITE-5230
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-5230
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Itiel Sadeh
> Assignee: Itiel Sadeh
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 1.32.0
>
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> In the following expression:
> {code:java}
> PERCENTILE_DISC ( numeric_literal ) WITHIN GROUP ( ORDER BY
> order_by_expression) {code}
> the return type of `PERCENTILE_DISC` aggregate function is hard-coded as
> `DOUBLE`,
> while in Postgresql and MSSQL it is determined by the `order_by_expression`
> type.
> Currently there is no way to derive the correct type of `PERCENTILE_DISC`
> function from the `order_by_expression` type, as this expression is not an
> argument for the `PERCENTILE_DISC` function.
> Calcite is creating the following tree from this expression:
> {code:java}
> SqlCall(operator: WITHING_GROUP, operands: [SqlCall( operator:
> PERCENTILE_DISC, operands: [numeric_literal], order_by_expression]){code}
> for correct type derivation, the order_by_expression should be an operand of
> the PERCENTILE_DISC call
