getRelMetadata

public Object getRelMetadata(RelNode rel,
                             String metadataQueryName,

Description copied from interface: RelMetadataProvider

Retrieves metadata about a relational expression.

Specified by:

getRelMetadata in interface RelMetadataProvider

Parameters:

rel - relational expression of interest

metadataQueryName - name of metadata query to invoke

args - arguments to metadata query (expected number and type depend on query name; must have well-defined hashCode/equals for use by caching); null can be used instead of empty array

Returns:

metadata result (actual type depends on query name), or null if the provider cannot answer the given query/rel combination; it is better to return null than to return a possibly incorrect answer
