Jark Wu commented on FLINK-4832:
--------------------------------
I have tried to count elements in an empty table in MySQL. Without GROUP BY,
the result is zero. With a GROUP BY, the result is empty. So maybe union a
dummy record can work ?
> Count/Sum 0 elements

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: Timo Walther
>
> Currently, the Table API is unable to count or sum up 0 elements. We should
> improve DataSet aggregations for this. Maybe by union the original DataSet
> with a dummy record or by using a MapPartition function. Coming up with a
> good design for this is also part of this issue.
