Ruben Quesada Lopez commented on CALCITE-2968:
----------------------------------------------
Ok, let us wait until the Join, SemiJoin, Correlate refactoring gets done, and
then move on with the implementation of AntiJoin based on the new design
> New AntiJoin relational expression
> ----------------------------------

> Key: CALCITE-2968
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2968
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Ruben Quesada Lopez
> Priority: Major
>
> The goal of this ticket is to follow the discussion started in CALCITE-2920
> (and its [PR|https://github.com/apache/calcite/pull/1110]).
> With the implementation of CALCITE-2920, RelBuilder has now a method to
> create an AntiJoin. However, since, for the moment, there is no "AntiJoin"
> expression, the only possibility to build an AntiJoin is using a
> LogicalCorrelate with SemiJoinType.ANTI, and that's exactly what this method
> does, for now.
> The idea would be to "generalize" this with the creation of a new AntiJoin
> (a.k.a. AntiSemiJoin) relational expression.
> Some ideas about how to implement it:
> - Modify SemiJoin class: add a new instance field protected final
> SemiJoinType semiJoinType;, which will be by default SemiJoinType.SEMI (to
> ensure backwards compatibility); but that could also be SemiJoinType.ANTI, to
> represent an AntiJoin (a.k.a. AntiSemiJoin)
> - We could easily have two implementations of Antijoin:
> -- a) Enumerable: small modification in EnumerableSemiJoin and
> EnumerableSemiJoinRule in order to propagate the SemiJoinType, plus a new
> antiJoin method in EnumerableDefaults (basically the same as semiJoin method,
> but with a "not contains" predicate instead of "contains")
> -- b) Correlate: small modification in JoinToCorrelateRule to propagate the
> SemiJoin.semiJoinType will suffice to create the appropriate LogicalCorrelate
> with type SEMI / ANTI
> - RelBuilder antiJoin method would no longer create a LogicalCorrelate
> type=ANTI, but instead a SemiJoin type=ANTI (using a new method in
> SemiJoinFactory that would accept an additional SemiJoinType parameter).
