Log Context

Log “error building [” + primaryName + “]: ” class name is EqlFunctionRegistry.java. We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

List<string> aliases = asList(names).subList(1; names.length);

FunctionDefinition.Builder realBuilder = (uf; cfg; extras) -> {

try {

return builder.build(uf.source(); uf.children(); asBool(extras));

} catch (QlIllegalArgumentException e) {

throw new ParsingException(uf.source(); "error building [" + primaryName + "]: " + e.getMessage(); e);

}

};

boolean caseAware = CaseInsensitiveScalarFunction.class.isAssignableFrom(function);

return new EqlFunctionDefinition(primaryName; unmodifiableList(aliases); function; caseAware; realBuilder);

}</string>
