Jark Wu created FLINK-4109:
------------------------------
Summary: Change the name of ternary condition operator 'eval' to
'?'
Key: FLINK-4109
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4109
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Table API & SQL
Affects Versions: 1.1.0
Reporter: Jark Wu
Assignee: Jark Wu
The ternary condition operator in Table API is named {{eval}}, for example:
{{(42 > 5).eval("A", "B")}} leads to "A". IMO, the eval function is not well
understood. Instead the "?" is a better choice I think, which is used in Java
for condition operator.
It will be clearer and more literal understood, e.g.
{{(42 > 5).?("A", "B")}} or {{(42 > 5) ? ("A", "B")}}
If it make sense, I will pull a request.
