   > Why not improve SetLookupOptions instead to allow selecting the desired 
semantics?
   
   Hi, here are my two considerations:
   1. The `null_handling` of all the kernels of `is_in` is 
`NullHandling::OUTPUT_NOT_NULL`. While a sql-compatible `is_in` can have `NULL` 
outputs.
   2. It's a bit weird to add an option like `sql_compatible` specific for 
`is_in` in `SetLookupOptions`.  Since `SetLookupOptions` is used by `is_in` and 
`index_in`.
   
   But these two considerations are not strict obstacles for using an option 
instead. For 1, we can set `null_handling` to 
`NullHandling::COMPUTED_PREALLOCATE` and init the null bitmap to `true` in exec 
for un-sql-compatible `is_in`. And the new option could be named as 
`sql_compatible`, which is only used by `is_in`. 
   
   If you think the solution is ok or have a better solution, I will change 
code to an new option version soon.
