             Summary: Improve function identifier string in plan digest
                 Key: FLINK-15585
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15585
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Table SQL / Planner
            Reporter: Jark Wu


Currently, we are using {{UserDefinedFunction#functionIdentifier}} as the identifier string of UDFs in plan digest, for example:

{code:java}
LogicalTableFunctionScan(invocation=[org$apache$flink$table$planner$utils$TableFunc1$8050927803993624f40152a838c98018($2)], rowType=...)
{code}

However, the result of {{UserDefinedFunction#functionIdentifier}} will change if we just add a method in UserDefinedFunction, because it uses Java serialization. Then we have to update 60 plan tests which is very annoying.

In the other hand, displaying the function identifier string in operator name in Web UI is verbose to users.

In order to improve this situation, there are something we can do:
1) If the UDF has a catalog function name, we can just use the catalog name as the digest. Otherwise, fallback to (2).
2) If the UDF doesn't contain fields, we just use the full calss name as the digest. Otherwise, fallback to (3).
3) Use identifier string which will do the full serialization.
