I am building a custom connector and need to implement query folding when filter is added. What is the On* handler function name and its parameters for this? Is there any documentation on this and all available handler functions?
These doc doesn't contain everything.

Solved! Go to Solution.
The handler is
OnSelectRows = (condition as function) =>
let
ast = RowExpression.From(condition),
...
We can convert the condition into abstract syntax tree (AST) using:
RowExpression.From(function as function) as record
Example:
For
Table.SelectRows(table, each [Metric1]>=2000 or [Metric1]=null or [Metric1]=[Metric2])
AST is :
[ Kind = "Binary", Operator = "Or",
Left = [ Kind = "Binary", Operator = "Or",
Left = [ Kind = "Binary", Operator = "GreaterThanOrEquals",
Left = [ Kind = "FieldAccess", MemberName = "Metric1", Expression = RowExpression.Row ] ,
Right = [ Kind = "Constant", Value = 2000 ]
] ,
Right = [ Kind = "Binary", Operator = "Equals",
Left = [ Kind = "FieldAccess", MemberName = "Metric1", Expression = RowExpression.Row ] ,
Right = [ Kind = "Constant", Value = null ]
]
] ,
Right = [ Kind = "Binary", Operator = "Equals",
Left = [ Kind = "FieldAccess", MemberName = "Metric1", Expression = RowExpression.Row ] ,
Right = [ Kind = "FieldAccess", MemberName = "Metric2", Expression = RowExpression.Row ]
]
]
