Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-1450:
--------------------------------------
It would be useful if {{replicate_rows}} were a relational operator (i.e. a
subclass of {{RelNode}}), not a UDTF. Then we could write rules to push
{{Filter}} and {{Project}} operators through it, and we wouldn't necessarily
have to implement it in Java.
> support a UDTF replicate_rows

> Add a user-defined table function that has a count column N, and a number of
> other columns, and for each row, produces N copies of that row.
> The purpose of this table function is to implement {{INTERSECT ALL}} and
> {{EXCEPT ALL}}. Observe that if have a table 'five' with 5 rows with the
> value 'x', and a table 'three' with 3 rows with the value 'x', then {{five
> INTERSECT ALL three}} will need to emit {{min(5, 3))}} rows, and {{five
> EXCEPT ALL three}} will emit {{5 - 3}} rows.
