https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/701
It seems that the concept of overloading, is, itself, ambiguous. If I
define a function `foo(long)`, but call it with an `int`, we won't get an exact
match, will we? So, on every call we'd have to check if there is a new, better,
match for `foo()` in the registry. This means a call to ZK for every function
in every query where we don't have an exact parameter match. My suspicion is
that this will be a performance issue, but we won't know until someone tests it.
I wonder if we should do this fix incrementally. This PR is better than the
original, as it does handle overloads. After that, we can do a bit of
performance testing to see the impact of checking ZK for the version on every
overloaded method. Any performance improvement can be done as separate JIRA and
PR.
> Issues when overloading Drill native functions with dynamic UDFs
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-4963
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4963
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Functions - Drill
> Affects Versions: 1.9.0
> Reporter: Roman
> Assignee: Arina Ielchiieva
> Fix For: Future
>
> Attachments: subquery_udf-1.0.jar, subquery_udf-1.0-sources.jar,
> test_overloading-1.0.jar, test_overloading-1.0-sources.jar
>
>
> I created jar file which overloads 3 DRILL native functions
> (LOG(VARCHAR-REQUIRED), CURRENT_DATE(VARCHAR-REQUIRED) and
> ABS(VARCHAR-REQUIRED,VARCHAR-REQUIRED)) and registered it as dynamic UDF.
> If I try to use my functions I will get errors:
> {code:xml}
> SELECT CURRENT_DATE('test') FROM (VALUES(1));
> {code}
> Error: FUNCTION ERROR: CURRENT_DATE does not support operand types (CHAR)
> SQL Query null
> {code:xml}
> SELECT ABS('test','test') FROM (VALUES(1));
> {code}
> Error: FUNCTION ERROR: ABS does not support operand types (CHAR,CHAR)
> SQL Query null
> {code:xml}
> SELECT LOG('test') FROM (VALUES(1));
> {code}
> Error: SYSTEM ERROR: DrillRuntimeException: Failure while materializing
> expression in constant expression evaluator LOG('test'). Errors:
> Error in expression at index -1. Error: Missing function implementation:
> castTINYINT(VARCHAR-REQUIRED). Full expression: UNKNOWN EXPRESSION.
> But if I rerun all this queries after "DrillRuntimeException", they will run
> correctly. It seems that Drill have not updated the function signature before
> that error. Also if I add jar as usual UDF (copy jar to
> /drill_home/jars/3rdparty and restart drillbits), all queries will run
> correctly without errors.
