You're right. Please check the code that triggers SQL-92 rewrites here
and you need to implement the SQL version for st_union:
https://github.com/apache/asterixdb/blob/master/asterixdb/asterix-lang-sqlpp/src/main/java/org/apache/asterix/lang/sqlpp/util/FunctionMapUtil.java#L61
Let us know if you have more questions.
Best,
Yingyi
