Currently, when users invoke a function or call a procedure, they must specify all fields in order. When there are a large number of parameters, it is easy to make mistakes and cannot omit specifying non-mandatory fields. By using named parameters, you can selectively specify the required parameters, reducing the probability of errors and making it more convenient to use.

Public Interfaces

Interface change

Introduce a new annotation to specify the parameter name, indicate if it is optional, and potentially support specifying default values in the future.Deprecate the ArgumentNames annotation as it is not user-friendly for specifying argument names with optional configuration.

Code Block
languagejava
public @interface ArgumentHint {
    String name() default "";

    boolean isOptional() default true;
}


Develop UDX or call procedures that support named parameters

For UDF development or call developers, the UDX or procedure we develop can be roughly divided into two types:

...

Code Block
languagejava
// UDF Development

public static class NamedArgumentsTableFunction extends TableFunction<Object> {

   // Example usage: SELECT * FROM TABLE(my_table_function(in1 => 'value1', in2 => 'value2'))

   // Example usage: SELECT * FROM TABLE(my_table_function(in1 => 'value1', in2 => 'value2', in3 => 'value3'))

   @FunctionHint(

           input = {@DataTypeHint("STRING"), @DataTypeHint(value = "STRING"), @DataTypeHint(value = "STRING")},
           output = @DataTypeHint("STRING"),             
           arguments = {
                @ArgumentHint(name = "in1", isOptional = true),
                @ArgumentHint(name = "in2", isOptional = true)
                @ArgumentHint(name = "in3", isOptional = true)})      
    public void eval(String arg1, String arg2, String arg3) {
       collect(arg1 + ", " + arg2 + "," + arg3);
   }

}


// Call Procedure Development

public static class NamedArgumentsProcedure implements Procedure {




   // Example usage: CALL myNamedProcedure(in1 => 'value1', in2 => 'value2')

   // Example usage: CALL myNamedProcedure(in1 => 'value1', in2 => 'value2', in3 => 'value3')

   @ProcedureHint(
           input = {@DataTypeHint(value = "STRING"), @DataTypeHint(value = "STRING"), @DataTypeHint(value = "STRING")},
           output = @DataTypeHint("STRING"),             
		   arguments = {
                @ArgumentHint(name = "in1", isOptional = false),
                @ArgumentHint(name = "in2", isOptional = true)
                @ArgumentHint(name = "in3", isOptional = true)})       
   public String[] call(ProcedureContext procedureContext, String arg1, String arg2, String arg3) {
       return new String[]{arg1 + ", " + arg2 + "," + arg3};
   }
}


Use named parameters when using function and call procedure.


Users can use functions and call procedures with named parameters as follows:
