 /**
- * Replaces vector similarity functions with a field attribute that applies
- * the similarity function during value loading, when one side of the function is a literal.
- * It also adds the new field function attribute to the EsRelation output, and adds a projection after it to remove it from the output.
+ * Replaces {@link Expression}s that can be pushed to field loading with a field attribute
+ * that calculates the expression during value loading. See {@link BlockLoaderExpression}
+ * for more about how these loads are implemented and why we do this.
+ * <p>
+ *     This rule runs in one downward (aka output-to-read) pass, making four sorts
+ *     of transformations:
+ * </p>
+ * <ul>
+ *     <li>
+ *         When we see a use of a <strong>new</strong> pushable function we build an
+ *         attribute for the function, record that attribute, and discard it after use.
+ *         For example, {@code EVAL l = LENGTH(message)} becomes
+ *         {@code EVAL l = $$message$LENGTH$1324$$ | DROP $$message$LENGTH$1324$$ }.
+ *         We need the {@code DROP} so we don't change the output schema.
+ *     </li>
+ *     <li>
+ *         When we see a use of pushable function for which we already have an attribute
+ *         we just use it. This looks like the {@code l} attribute in
+ *         {@code EVAL l = LENGTH(message) | EVAL l2 = LENGTH(message)}
+ *     </li>
+ *     <li>
+ *         When we see a PROJECT, add any new attributes to the projection so we can use
+ *         them on previously visited nodes. So {@code KEEP foo | EVAL l = LENGTH(message)}
+ *         becomes
+ *         <pre>{@code
+ *           | KEEP foo, $$message$LENGTH$1324$$
+ *           | EVAL l = $$message$LENGTH$1324$$
+ *           | DROP $$message$LENGTH$1324$$}
+ *         }</pre>
+ *     </li>
+ *     <li>
+ *         When we see a relation, add the attribute to it.
