LiangchangZ opened a new pull request #24457: [SPARK-27340] Alias on TimeWindow 
expression may cause watermark metadata lost
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/24457
 
 
   ## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
   
   `window($"fooTime", "2 seconds").alias("fooWindow")` can generate an 
expression tree  `Alias(fooWindow) <- TimeWindow`. The tree will become 
`Alias(fooWindow) <- Alias(window) <- Window(start, end)`  after analyzed by 
TimeWindowing rule. The `Alias(window)` got metadata of watermark when created:
   ```
   val windowStruct = Alias(getWindow(0, 1), WINDOW_COL_NAME)(
   exprId = windowAttr.exprId, explicitMetadata = Some(metadata))
   ``` 
   but the `Alias(fooWindow)` is created before  TimeWindowing rule effected. 
Its code path is:
   ```
   ...
   case ne: NamedExpression => Alias(expr, alias)(explicitMetadata = 
Some(ne.metadata))
   ...
   ```
   before TimeWindowing rule effected, the `ne.metadata`  is  None and cause 
the watermark metadata lost
   
   We make the `def name(alias: String)` return a `Alias` which  get metadata 
from its child automatically, when not specifying metadata explicitly.
   
   Thank @LinhongLiu for helping analyzing this problem!
   
   ## How was this patch tested?
   integration tests, run the example in jira successfully and do not throw 
org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException anymore
