David Milicevic updated SPARK-48530:
------------------------------------
Description:
At the moment, variables in SQL scripts are creating session variables. We
don't want this, we want variables to be considered as local (within the
block/compound).
-To achieve this, we probably need to wait for labels support. Once we have it,
we can prepend variable names with labels to make distinction between variables
with the same name and only then reuse session variables mechanism to save
values with such composed names.-
-If the block/compound doesn't have label, we should generate it automatically
(GUID or something similar).-
Labels support is done, so we can use them now for local variables - they need
to be able to be referenced by <labelName>.<varName>.
We cannot reuse session variables for this - we need to implement local
variables per script, with scoping and shadowing.
-Also, variables cannot recover from script failures - if a script fails,
variables won’t be dropped. If we intend to reuse session variables for local
variables, we should think about how to fix this.- We won't be using session
variables, so this shouldn't be a problem, but need to have it in mind because
wrong implementation can cause the same problem.
