Alex Parvulescu commented on JCR-2852:
--------------------------------------

Apparently JCR-2933 stumbled upon a case that does not fit into my patch :(

If we have an outer join with an OR condition that references the 2 sides of 
the join on both branches of the condition. The Constraint splitter fails to 
recognize that and executes 2 wrong queries, thus resulting in a 0 set.
Ex: 
Select * from [test:SamplePage] as page left outer join [test:SampleContent] as 
content on ISDESCENDANTNODE(content,page) where (page.prop1 = 'page1' and 
content.prop1 = 'content3') or (page.prop1='page2' and content.prop1='content3')

The Or has 2 branches that reference both sides: 
1. page.prop1 = 'page1' and content.prop1 = 'content3'
  OR
2. page.prop1='page2' and content.prop1='content3'

A suggested workaround (as I think this will have horrible performance anyway) 
is to rewrite the query in a more simple way to not cross reference anymore:
 where (page.prop1 = 'page1' or page.prop1='page2') and content.prop1 = 
'content3'  

but this does not fix the issue

> Our current join implementation doesn't support OR constraints that refer to 
> more than one selector. For example the following query is not possible:
>     SELECT a.* FROM [my:type] AS a INNER JOIN [my:type] as b ON a.foo = b.bar 
> WHERE a.baz = 'x' OR b.baz = 'y'
> This limitation is a result of the way the join execution splits the query 
> into per-selector components and merges the result based on the given join 
> condition.
> A simple but often inefficient solution would be to process such OR 
> constraints as post-processing filters like we already do for some other more 
> complex constraint types.
