Paul Rogers commented on DRILL-6360: ------------------------------------ The information should go [here|https://drill.apache.org/docs/data-type-functions/]. {{typeof()}} returns {{"NULL"}} if the value of a column is NULL, else it returns the internal Drill type name for a column as given by {{drillTypeOf()}}. > Document the typeof() function > ------------------------------ > > Key: DRILL-6360 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-6360 > Project: Apache Drill > Issue Type: Task > Components: Documentation > Affects Versions: 1.13.0 > Reporter: Paul Rogers > Assignee: Bridget Bevens > Priority: Minor > Labels: doc-impacting > > Drill has a {{typeof()}} function that returns the data type (but not mode) > of a column. It was discussed on the dev list recently. However, a search of > the Drill web site, and a scan by hand, failed to turn up documentation about > the function. > As a general suggestion, would be great to have an alphabetical list of all > functions so we don't have to hunt all over the site to find which functions > are available. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
