•  package expressions

  A set of classes that can be used to represent trees of relational expressions.

  A set of classes that can be used to represent trees of relational expressions. A key goal of the expression library is to hide the details of naming and scoping from developers who want to manipulate trees of relational operators. As such, the library defines a special type of expression, a NamedExpression in addition to the standard collection of expressions.

  Standard Expressions

  A library of standard expressions (e.g., Add, EqualTo), aggregates (e.g., SUM, COUNT), and other computations (e.g. UDFs). Each expression type is capable of determining its output schema as a function of its children's output schema.

  Named Expressions

  Some expression are named and thus can be referenced by later operators in the dataflow graph. The two types of named expressions are AttributeReferences and Aliases. AttributeReferences refer to attributes of the input tuple for a given operator and form the leaves of some expression trees. Aliases assign a name to intermediate computations. For example, in the SQL statement SELECT a+b AS c FROM ..., the expressions a and b would be represented by AttributeReferences and c would be represented by an Alias.

  During analysis, all named expressions are assigned a globally unique expression id, which can be used for equality comparisons. While the original names are kept around for debugging purposes, they should never be used to check if two attributes refer to the same value, as plan transformations can result in the introduction of naming ambiguity. For example, consider a plan that contains subqueries, both of which are reading from the same table. If an optimization removes the subqueries, scoping information would be destroyed, eliminating the ability to reason about which subquery produced a given attribute.

  Evaluation

  The result of expressions can be evaluated using the Expression.apply(Row) method.

•  object GenerateUnsafeProjection extends CodeGenerator[Seq[Expression], UnsafeProjection]

  Generates a Projection that returns an UnsafeRow.

  Generates a Projection that returns an UnsafeRow.

  It generates the code for all the expressions, computes the total length for all the columns (can be accessed via variables), and then copies the data into a scratch buffer space in the form of UnsafeRow (the scratch buffer will grow as needed).

  Note

  The returned UnsafeRow will be pointed to a scratch buffer inside the projection.
