Qilong Wang commented on FLINK-35869:
-------------------------------------
One possible direction for the fix is to enhance the matching logic of the
EventTimeTemporalJoinRewriteRule: when the Source already has built-in
watermarking (i.e., the WatermarkAssigner has been pushed into the Source), the
rule must also recognize that the filter lies between the temporal join and the
Source, correctly throw an exception, and guide the user to move the filter
after the join.
> Right side columns of temporal left join are always null when right side is
> filtered

> Key: FLINK-35869
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-35869
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Table SQL / API
> Affects Versions: 1.19.1
> Reporter: Grzegorz Kołakowski
> Priority: Major
>
> Background:
> I have a stream of user information updates in Kafka topic, but those updates
> are partial, that is, the event contains only the fields that has changed
> ("untouched" fields are empty strings in this example), for instance:
> {noformat}
> {"user_id":1} {"ts":"2024-07-18
> 12:00:00","user_id":1,"city":"Warszawa","phone_number":""}
> {"user_id":1} {"ts":"2024-07-18
> 12:01:00","user_id":1,"city":"","phone_number":"+48 123456789"}{noformat}
> In the main query for each element on the left side, I want to find the
> latest user location (city column). To be able to create a correct versioned
> table for temporal join I tried to filter the right side:
> {noformat}
> location_changes AS (SELECT * FROM user_data WHERE city <> ''){noformat}
> Full query:
> {code:sql}
> WITH password_logins AS (SELECT * FROM events WHERE `action` = 'login'),
> location_changes AS (SELECT * FROM user_data WHERE city <> '')
> SELECT *
> FROM password_logins
> LEFT JOIN location_changes
> FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF password_logins.`ts`
> ON password_logins.`user_id` = location_changes.`user_id`;{code}
> If *WHERE city <> ''* filter is present, then all columns from right side are
> always null:
> {noformat}
> +----+-------------------------+-------------+--------------------------------+-------------------------+-------------+--------------------------------+--------------------------------+
> | op | ts | user_id | action
> | ts0 | user_id0 | city |
> phone_number |
