Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-1790:
--------------------------------------
I think that this would work, as long as we have (a) expression-optimization as
we go (i.e. CALCITE-1794), and (b) a limit. There's a good change that the bugs
in java generation will disappear, and if they don't, they can solved with a
modest amount of work. But if that's more than your current time budget allows,
I understand.
> Simplify CASE P1 THEN <boolean> P@ THEN <booleans> ... ELSE TRUE/FALSE

> Key: CALCITE-1790
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1790
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Reporter: Remus Rusanu
> Assignee: Remus Rusanu
> Priority: Minor
>
> In HIVE-14431 [~jcamachorodriguez] proposed a simplification for CASE when
> all branches are not nullable boolean expression into an alternative
> AND/OR/NOT based expression. This allows for more aggressive reductions and
> split/push-down on the whole. Meantime the simplifier code migrated to
> Calcite so I'm reviving this here.
> The proposed simplification is:
> {code}
> CASE
> WHEN p1 THEN ex1
> WHEN p2 THEN ex2
> ...
> WHEN pn THEN exn
> ELSE TRUE/FALSE
> END
> {code}
> to be transformed into:
> {code}
> (p1 AND ex1)
> OR (not(p1) AND p2 AND x2)
> ...
> OR (not(p1) AND not(p2) ... AND not(pn-1) AND Pn AND exn)
> [OR (not(p1) AND not(p2) ... AND not(pn))]
> {code}
> The last OR is depending on the ELSE branch being TRUE/FALSE.
