Yijie Shen commented on FLINK-3723:
-----------------------------------
btw, I was mislead by the javadoc first
{code}
Example:
in.select('key, 'value.avg + " The average" as 'average, 'other.substring(0,
10))
{code}
I thought {{'other}} shouldn't appear here.
> Aggregate Functions and scalar expressions shouldn't be mixed in select

> Key: FLINK-3723
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3723
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table API
> Affects Versions: 1.0.1
> Reporter: Yijie Shen
>
> When we type {code}select deptno, name, max(age) from dept group by
> deptno;{code} in calcite or Oracle, it will complain {code}Expression 'NAME'
> is not being grouped{code} or {code}Column 'dept.name' is invalid in the
> select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or
> the GROUP BY clause.{code} because of the nondeterministic result.
> Therefore, I suggest to separate the current functionality of `select` into
> two api, the new `select` only handle scalar expressions, and an `agg` accept
> Aggregates.
> {code}
> def select(exprs: Expression*)
> def agg(aggs: Aggregation*)
> ....
> tbl.groupBy('deptno)
> .agg('age.max, 'age.min)
> {code}
