             Summary: UnionAllRecordBatch infers wrongly from next() 
IterOutcome values
                 Key: DRILL-3659
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3659
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Daniel Barclay (Drill)


When UnionAllRecordBatch uses IterOutcome values returned from the next() 
method of upstream batches, it seems to be using those values wrongly (making 
incorrect inferences about what they mean).

In particular, some switch statements seem to check for NONE vs. OK_NEW_SCHEMA 
in order to determine whether there are any rows (instead of explicitly 
checking the number of rows).  However, OK_NEW_SCHEMA can be returned even when 
there are zero rows.

The apparent latent bug in the union code blocks the fix for DRILL-2288 (having 
ScanBatch return OK_NEW_SCHEMA for a zero-rows case in which is was wrongly 
(per the IterOutcome protocol) returning NONE without first returning 
OK_NEW_SCHEMA).


For details of IterOutcome values, see the Javadoc documentation of 
RecordBatch.IterOutcome (after DRILL-3641 is merged; until then, see 
https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/113).

For an environment/code state that exposes the UnionAllRecordBatch problems, 
see https://github.com/dsbos/incubator-drill/tree/bugs/WORK_2288_etc, which 
includes:
- a test that exposes the DRILL-2288 problem;
- an enhanced IteratorValidatorBatchIterator, which now detects IterOutcome 
value sequence violations; and
- a fixed (though not-yet-cleaned) version of ScanBatch that fixes the 
DRILL-2288 problem and thereby exposes the UnionAllRecordBatch problem (several 
test methods in each of TestUnionAll and TestUnionDistinct fail).
