All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

Direct Known Subclasses:

Predicate

@Evolving
public class ScalarExpression
extends Object
implements Expression

Scalar SQL expressions which take zero or more inputs and for each input row generate one output value. A subclass of these expressions are of type Predicate whose result type is `boolean`. See Predicate for predicate type scalar expressions. Supported non-predicate type scalar expressions are listed below.

1. Name: element_at
   • Semantic: element_at(map, key). Return the value of given key from the map type input. Returns null if the given key is not in the map Ex: `element_at(map(1, 'a', 2, 'b'), 2)` returns 'b'
   • Since version: 3.0.0
