Github user jianqiao commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/incubator-quickstep/pull/180 Estimated cardinality being zero means that we expect the relation to be empty or have a small number of tuples. In either case, the created filter is effective and can be used to pre-filter other relations. Otherwise if we don't create such a filter, then there would be no optimization at all.
