------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, [~nobigo]
I am interested in the semantics of this aggregate function.
Is `EXISTS_AGG(COLUMN)` equal to `EXISTS_AGG(DISTINCT COLUMN)`?

> Key: CALCITE-4763

> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Julian Hyde
> Assignee: duan xiong
> Priority: Major
>
> Add {{EXISTS_AGG}}, an aggregate function that returns whether count is
> greater than zero.
> Thus {{EXISTS_AGG(*)}} is equivalent to {{COUNT(*) > 0}}, and
> {{EXISTS_AGG(c)}} is equivalent to {{COUNT(c) > 0}}.
> {{EXISTS_AGG}} would mainly be of use internally. Since it produces a
> {{BOOLEAN}} value, we can use the value directly from an {{Aggregate}}
> without an intervening {{Project}}. It also captures the fact that we don't
> care how many rows were produced.
> See also {{TRUE_AGG}}, CALCITE-4334.
