TypeCoercionRule -- Type Coercion Rules¶

TypeCoercionRule is the <> of <> to <> and <> types in <>.

[[contract]] [source, scala]

package org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis

trait TypeCoercionRule extends Rule[LogicalPlan] { // only required methods that have no implementation // the others follow def coerceTypes(plan: LogicalPlan): LogicalPlan }

.(Subset of) TypeCoercionRule Contract [cols="1m,2",options="header",width="100%"] |=== | Method | Description

| coerceTypes | [[coerceTypes]] Coerce types in a <>

Used exclusively when TypeCoercionRule is <> |===

TypeCoercionRule is simply a <> for transforming <>, i.e. Rule[LogicalPlan].

Executing Rule¶

apply(plan: LogicalPlan): LogicalPlan

apply <> in the input <> and returns the following:

The input <> itself if matches the coerced plan
The plan after <> on the coerced plan

apply is part of the Rule abstraction.

=== [[propagateTypes]] propagateTypes Internal Method

[source, scala]¶

propagateTypes(plan: LogicalPlan): LogicalPlan¶

propagateTypes...FIXME

NOTE: propagateTypes is used exclusively when TypeCoercionRule is <>.
