krooswu updated CALCITE-7109:
-----------------------------
Description:
h1. Proposal: Add support for << (bitwise left shift) operator
h2. Overview
Add comprehensive support for the bitwise left shift operator ({{{}<<{}}}) in
Apache Calcite, following mainstream database semantics.
h2. Implementation Details
h3. Core Components
* {*}Parser Extension{*}: Extend parser to recognize {{<<}} operator with
appropriate precedence (32, matching standard shift operators)
* {*}Operator Definition{*}: Add {{SqlBinaryOperator LEFTSHIFT}} in
{{SqlStdOperatorTable}}
* {*}Integration{*}: Support in {{{}SqlToRelConverter{}}}, {{{}RexBuilder{}}},
and code generation
* {*}Type System{*}: Add type inference for all INTEGER family types (TINYINT,
SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT)
h3. Type Handling Strategy
* {*}Return Type{*}: Result type matches left operand type
({{{}ReturnTypes.ARG0_NULLABLE{}}})
* {*}Mixed Type Promotion{*}: When operand types differ, promote to
accommodate both operands
* {*}Supported Types{*}:
** INTEGER family types (TINYINT, SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT)
** VARBINARY types (following BigQuery semantics)
h3. Behavioral Semantics
h4. Shift Count Handling
* {*}Negative Shift{*}: Strict Validation and throw exception
* {*}Large Shift{*}: Shift counts >= type bit width return 0
{{SELECT 1 << 40; – Returns 0 for INTEGER types}}
h4. Overflow Behavior
* {*}Silent Truncation{*}: Overflow bits are silently discarded (no exceptions
thrown)
* {*}Natural Bit Operations{*}: Follow Java's natural bit truncation behavior
* {*}Alignment{*}: Matches PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server overflow handling
h4. Null Handling
* {*}Standard SQL Semantics{*}: NULL operands result in NULL output
* {*}Consistent{*}: Follows existing Calcite null propagation patterns
h3. Database Compatibility Matrix
||Database||Negative Shift||Overflow||Implementation Status||
|*PostgreSQL*|Error/Undefined|Silent truncation|✅ Aligned|
|*MySQL*|Error/Undefined|Silent truncation|✅ Aligned|
|*SQL Server*|Treated as right shift|Silent truncation|✅ Aligned|
|*BigQuery*|Limited support|Silent truncation|✅ Aligned (BYTES support)|
h3. Test Coverage
* {*}Parsing Tests{*}: {{SqlParserTest}} - operator recognition and precedence
* {*}Validation Tests{*}: {{SqlValidatorTest}} - type checking and error
conditions
* {*}Execution Tests{*}: {{SqlOperatorTest}} - runtime behavior verification
* {*}Rex Tests{*}: {{{}RexImpTableTest{}}}, {{RexProgramTest}} - expression
tree handling
* {*}Integration Tests{*}: {{operator.iq}} - end-to-end SQL execution scenarios
* {*}Edge Cases{*}: Boundary conditions, type promotions, null handling
h3. Design Decisions & Rationales
h4. Why Silent Truncation?
* {*}Industry Standard{*}: All major databases handle overflow this way
* {*}Performance{*}: Avoids runtime exception overhead
* {*}Predictability{*}: Consistent bit-level behavior across platforms
h4. Why SQL Server's Negative Shift Semantics?
* {*}Intuitive{*}: Negative left shift logically becomes right shift
* {*}Practical{*}: Useful for bidirectional bit manipulation
* {*}Clear{*}: Unambiguous behavior specification
h4. Why ARG0 Return Type?
* {*}Consistency{*}: Matches other bitwise operators in Calcite
* {*}Control{*}: Users can explicitly cast for type promotion when needed
* {*}Performance{*}: Avoids unnecessary type conversions
h3. VARBINARY Implementation Details
* {*}Byte-level Shifting{*}: Shifts entire bytes within the binary array
* {*}Length Preservation{*}: Result maintains same byte length as input
* {*}Overflow Handling{*}: Bytes shifted beyond array boundaries are discarded
* {*}BigQuery Semantics{*}: Follows BigQuery's BYTES shifting behavior
h3. Future Extensions
* {*}Configuration Options{*}: Optional strict mode for overflow checking
* {*}Right Shift Operator{*}: Companion {{>>}} operator implementation
h3. Breaking Changes
* {*}None{*}: This is a new feature addition with no existing functionality
changes
This proposal ensures Calcite's left shift operator behaves consistently with
mainstream SQL databases while maintaining performance and providing clear,
predictable semantics.

as right shift
