Thanks for the PR, [~jark]!
> Support CROSS/OUTER APPLY syntax

>
> The CROSS/OUTER APPLY is very similar to CROSS JOIN and OUTER JOIN. The
> difference is that the APPLY operator is used to invoke a table-valued
> function. This is not a standard SQL syntax , but introduced from MS SQL
> Server [1].
> The APPLY operator can be expressed by Calcite’s LATERAL TABLE . That means
> the
> SELECT MyTable.*, t.s FROM MyTable CROSS APPLY split(MyTable.a)) AS t(s)
> corresponds to :
> SELECT MyTable.*, t.s FROM MyTable, LATERAL TABLE(split(MyTable.a)) AS t(s)
> and
> SELECT MyTable.*, t.s FROM MyTable OUTER APPLY split(MyTable.a)) AS t(s)
> corresponds to:
> SELECT MyTable.*, t.s FROM MyTable LEFT JOIN LATERAL TABLE(split(MyTable.a))
> AS t(s) ON TRUE
> The ON TRUE part is necessary for LEFT JOIN, but it's trivial for users.
> That's why I'm introducing "CROSS/OUTER APPLY" which will simplify the SQL a
> lot.
> As the APPLY can be expressed by LATERAL, so the only thing we need to touch
> is the Parser (see [2] and search FLINK to find the modification).
