Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-6020:
--------------------------------------
The decision whether to convert {{SUM}} to {{SUM0}} should always take into
account whether the group can be empty. If the group can be empty (e.g. in
{{{}GROUP BY (){}}}, or in {{GROUP BY k1, k2}} if the argument to {{SUM}} is
nullable, or in certain kinds of window) then {{SUM}} cannot safely be
converted to {{{}SUM0{}}}, and the config option should not override that.
If we add the config option there should be tests for those kinds of things in
{{{}RelBuilderTest{}}}.
> SqlToRelConverter should not replace windowed SUM with equivalent expression
> using SUM0

> {{SqlToRelConverter}} replaces {{SUM}} with {{SUM0}} around
> [here|https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/e1991e08a225ef08c2402ab35c310d88fff3c222/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/sql2rel/SqlToRelConverter.java#L5885]
> This might have been needed at some point in the past - but I think it will
> be better to leave it as {{SUM}} - as in case there is no {{SUM0}} in the
> system that will be replaced with a {{COALESCE(SUM(...) , 0 )}} to provide it
> - as see
