Method Details

createExecOp

NaryExecutableOp createExecOp(boolean collectExceptions,
 ExpectedVariables... inputVars)

Description copied from interface: PhysicalOperator

Creates and returns the executable operator to be used for this physical operator. The implementation of this method has to create a new ExecutableOperator object each time it is called. The given collectExceptions flag is passed to the executable operator and determines whether that operator collects its exceptions (see ExecutableOperator.getExceptionsCaughtDuringExecution()) or throws them immediately. The number of ExpectedVariables objects passed as arguments to this method must be in line with the degree of this operator (e.g., for a unary operator, exactly one such object must be passed).
