Labels: pull-request-available (was: )
> Add overload support for user defined function
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-10958
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10958
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: Dian Fu
> Assignee: Dian Fu
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> Currently overload is not supported in user defined function and given the
> following UDF
> {code:java}
> class Func21 extends ScalarFunction {
> def eval(p: People): String = {
> p.name
> }
> def eval(p: Student): String = {
> "student#" + p.name
> }
> }
> class People(val name: String)
> class Student(name: String) extends People(name)
> class GraduatedStudent(name: String) extends Student(name)
> {code}
> Queries such as the following will compile failed with error msg "Found
> multiple 'eval' methods which match the signature."
>
> {code:java}
> val udf = new Func21
> val table = ...
> table.select(udf(new GraduatedStudent("test"))) {code}
> That's because overload is not supported in user defined function currently.
> I think it will make sense to support overload following the java language
> specification in section
> [15.2|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-15.html#jls-15.12].
