-------------------------------------------------------------
I'm ok with the fix.
I searched in the codebase, this is the only place that handles {{DOT}}'s
operand specially, hence it's safe to fix it this way.
Other options may be:
* only generate {{SqlIdentifier}} for this case in the parser
* canonize {{DOT}} call to {{SqlIdentifier}} before validation for this case
However, I think it's ok to fix it this way because the expression
(SqlIdentifier DOT SqlIdentifier) is valid, and we shouldn't assume {{DOT}}'s
first operand must be a {{SqlCall}} in this case.

> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.30.0

> When a query contains nested field access and is using parentheses to
> disambiguate the identifier, the {{SqlValidatorImpl.checkRollup()}} method
> throws a {{ClassCastException}}, assuming that the input of the DOT operator
> is a {{SqlCall}}. I think this assumption is wrong, the DOT operator
> typically has {{SqlIdentifier}} as an input, probably also other classes.

> The problem can be reproduced by modifying the
> {{ReflectiveSchemaTest.testSelectWithFieldAccessOnFirstLevelRecordType()}}
> test and putting {{au."birthPlace"}} into parentheses:
> {code:sql}
> select (au."birthPlace")."city" as city from ...
> {code}
> Putting identifiers into parentheses is common to disambiguate field access
> from identifier qualification. For example, if the {{au}} prefix is removed
> from the query in the {{testSelectWithFieldAccessOnFirstLevelRecordType}}
> test, it will fail with {{{}Table 'birthPlace' not found{}}}. But if we put
> {{\"birthPlace\"}} into parentheses, then it is correctly recognized as a
> column of the {{authors}} table.
> I'm not sure about the correct fix to this issue which would not break the
> roll-up functionality, perhaps its author [~zhumayun] can help reviewing the
> PR or suggesting another fix. I'll soon create a PR with a proposed fix.
