What changes were proposed in this pull request?
In
StringUtils#orderSuggestedIdentifiersBySimilarity
, handle the case where the candidate attributes have a mix of empty and non-empty prefixes.Why are the changes needed?
The following query throws a
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
:The query should fail anyway, since
b
refers to a non-existent column. But it should fail with a helpful error message, not with aStringIndexOutOfBoundsException
.StringUtils#orderSuggestedIdentifiersBySimilarity
assumes that a list of suggested attributes with a mix of prefixes will never have an attribute name with an empty prefix. But in this case it does (c1
from thecoalesce
has no prefix, since it is not associated with any relation or subquery):Because of this,
orderSuggestedIdentifiersBySimilarity
returns a sorted list of suggestions like this:UnresolvedAttribute.parseAttributeName
chokes on an attribute name that starts with a '.'.Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No.
How was this patch tested?
New unit tests.
