Returns true if expr can be evaluated using only the output of plan.
Returns true if expr can be evaluated using only the output of plan. This method
can be used to determine when it is acceptable to move expression evaluation within a query
plan.
For example consider a join between two relations R(a, b) and S(c, d).
- canEvaluate(EqualTo(a,b), R) returns true
- canEvaluate(EqualTo(a,c), R) returns false
- canEvaluate(Literal(1), R) returns true as literals CAN be evaluated on any plan
A pattern that collects the filter and inner joins.
Filter | inner Join / \ ----> (Seq(plan0, plan1, plan2), conditions) Filter plan2 | inner join / \ plan0 plan1
Note: This pattern currently only works for left-deep trees.
