             Summary: Clarify RelNode#estimateRowCount behavior with regards to 
nulls
                 Key: CALCITE-4263
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-4263
             Project: Calcite
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 1.25.0
            Reporter: Vladimir Sitnikov


{{RelNode#estimateRowCount}} implementation must return non-nullable value, and 
it often uses metadata which might return {{null}}

For instance,
{code:java}
class Correlate {
  @Override public double estimateRowCount(RelMetadataQuery mq) {
    double leftRowCount = mq.getRowCount(left); // <-- NPE here
    switch (joinType) {
    case SEMI:
    case ANTI:
      return leftRowCount;
    default:
      return leftRowCount * mq.getRowCount(right); // <-- NPE here
    }
  }
{code}

There should be documentation on the desired behavior in case metadata returns 
"unknown", and the code needs adjustment as lot of the implementation perform 
blind unboxing.
