Live feedback on query errors as the query is being typed #4734

Open sebastian opened 4 years ago

sebastian commented 4 years ago

Much like we can highlight which part of a query is anonymizing and which is restricted we could use the very same mechanism to provide an analyst with type checking and query validation as they are writing a query. That way most instances of having to run a query only to immediately get feedback that it's broken could be removed.

I think we need a slightly different compiler API for that. The main problem that I see is that compilation can take an arbitrary amount of time until data source analysis completes.

Agreed. We would need something which completes fast. Maybe it could even execute in air rather than cloak if there is a clean way to extract some shared code... although that suddenly makes this into a giant project...
