Yan Zhou updated PIG-1635:
--------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Logical simplifier does not simplify away constants under AND and OR; after
> simplificaion the ordering of operands of AND and OR may get changed
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: PIG-1635
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1635
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: impl
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0
> Reporter: Yan Zhou
> Assignee: Yan Zhou
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.8.0

> Attachments: PIG-1635.patch

>
> b = FILTER a by (( f1 > 1) AND (1 == 1))
> or
> b = FILTER a by ((f1 > 1) OR ( 1==0))
> should be simplified to
> b = FILTER a by f1 > 1;
> Regarding ordering change, an example is that
> b = filter a by ((f1 is not null) AND (f2 is not null));
> Even without possible simplification, the expression is changed to
> b = filter a by ((f2 is not null) AND (f1 is not null));
> Even though the ordering change in this case, and probably in most other
> cases, does not create any difference, but for two reasons some users might
> care about the ordering: if stateful UDFs are used as operands of AND or OR;
> and if the ordering is intended by the application designer to maximize the
> chances to shortcut the composite boolean evaluation.
