Thomas Rebele updated CALCITE-7264:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
The SQL standard defines that 1/0 throws an exception. Calcite follows the 
standard here. However, some projects that use Calcite (e.g., Hive) define the 
result of 1/0 as NULL. This may lead to different results in RexSimplify: E.g., 
IS NULL(1/0) would throw for the SQL standard semantics, but would return TRUE 
for the Hive semantics.

RexSimplify handles this with a concept called "safe" defined in 
[RexSimplify#isSafeExpression|https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/34989b0ed7793cedf713c2f159de6247a730458c/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/rex/RexSimplify.java#L1631].
 The safe operators are defined in 
[RexSimplify.SafeRexVisitor|https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/34989b0ed7793cedf713c2f159de6247a730458c/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/rex/RexSimplify.java#L1490].
 The goal of this ticket is to make the behavior configurable. The API would 
need to provide a method that accepts at least RexCall nodes. Maybe a more 
general approach is favorable, e.g., {{{}isSafeExpression(RexNode r){}}}.

This ticket aims to provide a refinement of 
{{{}org.apache.calcite.sql.SqlOperator#isSafeOperator{}}}, which only takes the 
operator but not the arguments into account. To be discussed whether the new 
API replaces or supplements {{{}SqlOperator#isSafeOperator{}}}.

The safeness information would be useful for other parts of the code as well, 
e.g., CALCITE-5315.

 The goal of this ticket is to make the behavior configurable. We can continue 
to attach the safeness to the operators, so we could move the safeOps set 
somewhere else. Here some examples:
 * boolean RelDataTypeSystem#canOperatorThrow(SqlKind op)
 * boolean RelDataTypeSystem#canOperatorThrow(SqlOperator op)
 * boolean RelDataTypeSystem#isNoExceptOperator(...) //noexcept notion borrowed 
from C++
 * boolean RelDataTypeSystem#isSafeOperator
 * Set<SqlKind> RelDataTypeSystem#noexceptOperators()

The safeness information would be useful for other parts of the code as well, 
e.g., CALCITE-5315.
