Fabian Hueske commented on FLINK-5498:
--------------------------------------
Hi [~lincoln.86xy], I'll fix this issue as this has the same root cause as
FLINK-7755.
Thanks, Fabian
> Add support for left/right outer joins with non-equality predicates (and 1+
> equality predicates)

> Key: FLINK-5498
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5498
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: lincoln.lee
> Assignee: lincoln.lee
> Priority: Minor
>
> I found the expected result of a unit test case incorrect compare to that in
> a RDMBS,
> see
> flink-libraries/flink-table/src/test/scala/org/apache/flink/table/api/scala/batch/table/JoinITCase.scala
> {code:title=JoinITCase.scala}
> def testRightJoinWithNotOnlyEquiJoin(): Unit = {
> ...
> val ds1 = CollectionDataSets.get3TupleDataSet(env).toTable(tEnv, 'a, 'b,
> 'c)
> val ds2 = CollectionDataSets.get5TupleDataSet(env).toTable(tEnv, 'd, 'e,
> 'f, 'g, 'h)
> val joinT = ds1.rightOuterJoin(ds2, 'a === 'd && 'b < 'h).select('c, 'g)
>
> val expected = "Hello world,BCD\n"
> val results = joinT.toDataSet[Row].collect()
> TestBaseUtils.compareResultAsText(results.asJava, expected)
> }
> {code}
> Then I took some time to learn about the ‘outer join’ in relational
> databases, the right result of above case should be(tested in SQL Server and
> MySQL, the results are same):
> {code}
> > select c, g from tuple3 right outer join tuple5 on a=f and b<h;
> c g
> -------------------------------- --------------------------------
> NULL Hallo
> NULL Hallo Welt
> NULL Hallo Welt wie
> NULL Hallo Welt wie gehts?
> NULL ABC
> Hello world BCD
> NULL CDE
> NULL DEF
> NULL EFG
> NULL FGH
> NULL GHI
> NULL HIJ
> NULL IJK
> NULL JKL
> NULL KLM
> {code}
> the join condition {{rightOuterJoin('a === 'd && 'b < 'h)}} is not equivalent
> to {{rightOuterJoin('a === 'd).where('b < 'h)}}.
> The problem is rooted in the code-generated {{JoinFunction}} (see
> {{DataSetJoin.translateToPlan()}}, line 188). If the join condition does not
> match, we must emit the outer row padded with nulls instead of returning from
> the function without emitting anything.
> The code-generated {{JoinFunction}} does also include equality predicates.
> These should be removed before generating the code, e.g., in
> {{DataSetJoinRule}} when generating the {{DataSetJoin}} with help of
> {{JoinInfo.getRemaining()}}.
