A reference to an attribute produced by another operator in the tree.

name

The name of this attribute, should only be used during analysis or for debugging.

dataType

nullable

True if null is a valid value for this attribute.

metadata

The metadata of this attribute.

exprId

A globally unique id used to check if different AttributeReferences refer to the same attribute.

qualifier

An optional string that can be used to referred to this attribute in a fully qualified way. Consider the examples tableName.name, subQueryAlias.name. tableName and subQueryAlias are possible qualifiers.

  19. lazy val deterministic: Boolean

    Returns true when the current expression always return the same result for fixed inputs from children.

    Returns true when the current expression always return the same result for fixed inputs from children. The non-deterministic expressions should not change in number and order. They should not be evaluated during the query planning.

    Note that this means that an expression should be considered as non-deterministic if: - it relies on some mutable internal state, or - it relies on some implicit input that is not part of the children expression list. - it has non-deterministic child or children. - it assumes the input satisfies some certain condition via the child operator.

    An example would be SparkPartitionID that relies on the partition id returned by TaskContext. By default leaf expressions are deterministic as Nil.forall(_.deterministic) returns true.
