+Examples

+/**
+ * A basic "compiler" that converts an instance of [PartiqlPhysical.Expr] to an [Expression].
+ *
+ * This is a modified copy of the legacy `EvaluatingCompiler` class, which is now legacy.
+ * The primary differences between this class an `EvaluatingCompiler` are:
+ *
+ * - All references to `PartiqlPhysical` are replaced with `PartiqlPhysical`.
+ * - `EvaluatingCompiler` compiles "monolithic" SFW queries--this class compiles relational
+ * operators (in concert with [PhysicalBexprToThunkConverter]).
+ *
+ * This implementation produces a "compiled" form consisting of context-threaded
+ * code in the form of a tree of [PhysicalPlanThunk]s.  An overview of this technique can be found
+ * [here][1].
+ *
+ * **Note:** *threaded* in this context is used in how the code gets *threaded* together for
+ * interpretation and **not** the concurrency primitive. That is to say this code is NOT thread
+ * safe.

+/**
+ * [PlannerPipeline] is the main interface for planning and compiling PartiQL queries into instances of [Expression]
+ * which can be executed.
+ *
+ * This class was originally derived from [org.partiql.lang.CompilerPipeline], which is the main compiler entry point
+ * for the legacy AST compiler.  The main difference is that the logical and physical plans have taken the place of
+ * PartiQL's AST, and that after parsing several passes over the AST are performed:
+ *
+ * - It is transformed into a logical plan
+ * - Variables are resolved.
+ * - It is converted into a physical plan.
+ *
+ * In the future additional passes will exist to include optimizations like predicate & projection push-down, and
+ * will be extensible by customers who can include their own optimizations.
+ *
+ * Two basic scenarios for using this interface:
+ *
+ * 1. You want to plan and compile a query once, but don't care about re-using the plan across process instances.  In
+ * this scenario, simply use the [planAndCompile] function to obtain an instance of [Expression] that can be
+ * invoked directly to evaluate a query.
+ * 2. You want to plan a query once and share a planned query across process boundaries.  In this scenario, use
+ * [plan] to perform query planning and obtain an instance of [PartiqlPhysical.Statement] which can be serialized to

+ * Resolves all variables by rewriting `(id <name> <case-sensitivity> <scope-qualifier>)` to
+ * `(id <unique-index>)`) or `(global_id <name> <unique-id>)`, or a `$__dynamic_lookup__` call site (if enabled).
+ *
+ * Local variables are resolved independently within this pass, but we rely on [resolver] to resolve global variables.
+ *
+ * There are actually two passes here:
+ * 1. All [PartiqlLogical.VarDecl] nodes are allocated unique indexes (which is stored in a meta).  This pass is
+ * relatively simple.
+ * 2. Then, during the transform from the `partiql_logical` domain to the `partiql_logical_resolved` domain, we
+ * determine if the `id` node refers to a global variable, local variable or undefined variable.  For global variables,
+ * the `id` node is replaced with `(global_id <name> <unique-id>)`.  For local variables, the original `id` node is
+ * replaced with a `(id <name> <unique-index>)`), where `<unique-index>` is the index of the corresponding `var_decl`.
+ *
+ * When [allowUndefinedVariables] is `false`, the [problemHandler] is notified of any undefined variables.  Resolution
+ * does not stop on the first undefined variable, rather we keep going to provide the end user any additional error
+ * messaging, unless [ProblemHandler.handleProblem] throws an exception when an error is logged.  **If any undefined
+ * variables are detected, in order to allow traversal to continue, a fake index value (-1) is used in place of a real
+ * one and the resolved logical plan returned by this function is guaranteed to be invalid.** **Therefore, it is the
+ * responsibility of callers to check if any problems have been logged with
+ * [org.partiql.lang.errors.ProblemSeverity.ERROR] and to abort further query planning if so.**
+ *
+ * When [allowUndefinedVariables] is `true`, undefined variables are transformed into a dynamic lookup call site, which
+ * is semantically equivalent to the behavior of the AST evaluator in the same scenario.  For example, `name` in the
+ * query below is undefined:
+ *
+ * ```sql
+ * SELECT name
+ * FROM foo AS f, bar AS b
+ * ```
+ * Is effectively rewritten to:
+ *
+ * ```sql
+ * SELECT "$__dynamic_lookup__"('name', 'locals_then_globals', 'case_insensitive', f, b)
+ * FROM foo AS f, bar AS b
+ * ```
+ *
+ * When `$__dynamic_lookup__` is invoked it will look for the value of `name` in the following locations: (All field
+ * / variable name comparisons are case-insensitive in this example, although we could have also specified
+ * `case_sensitive`.)
+ *
+ * - The fields of `f` if it is a struct.
+ * - The fields of `b` if it is a struct.
+ * - The global scope.
+ *
+ * The first value found is returned and the others are ignored.  Local variables are searched first
+ * (`locals_then_globals`) because of the context of the undefined variable.  (`name` is not within a `FROM` source.)
+ * However, to support SQL's FROM-clause semantics this pass specifies `globals_then_locals` when the variable is within
+ * a `FROM` source, which causes globals to be searched first.
+ *
+ * This behavior is backward compatible with the legacy AST evaluator.  Furthermore, this rewrite allows us to avoid
+ * having to support this kind of dynamic lookup within the plan evaluator, thereby reducing its complexity.  This
+ * rewrite can also be disabled entirely by setting [allowUndefinedVariables] to `false`, in which case undefined
+ * variables to result in a plan-time error instead.
