[jira] [Created] (FLINK-14533) PushFilterIntoTableSourceScanRule misses predicate pushdowns

---------------------------------------

             Summary: PushFilterIntoTableSourceScanRule misses predicate pushdowns
                 Key: FLINK-14533
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14533
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Table SQL / Planner
    Affects Versions: 1.9.1, 1.9.0, 1.8.2, 1.8.1
            Reporter: Yuval Itzchakov


When Flink attempts to perform predicate pushdown via `PushFilterIntoTableSourceScanRule`, it first checks the RexNodes to see if they can actually be pushed down to the source. It does that via `RexNodeToExpressionConverter.visitCall`, which traverses the nodes and eventually checks to see if it's a condition it knows:
{code:scala}
call.getOperator match {
  case SqlStdOperatorTable.OR => Option(operands.reduceLeft { (l, r) => Or(l.asInstanceOf[PlannerExpression], r.asInstanceOf[PlannerExpression]) })
  case SqlStdOperatorTable.AND => Option(operands.reduceLeft { (l, r) => And(l.asInstanceOf[PlannerExpression], r.asInstanceOf[PlannerExpression]) })
  case function: SqlFunction => lookupFunction(replace(function.getName), operands)  
  case postfix: SqlPostfixOperator => lookupFunction(replace(postfix.getName), operands)
  case operator@_ => lookupFunction(replace(s"${operator.getKind}"), operands)
}
{code}
If we take as an example the following query:
{code:sql}
SELECT a, b, c
FROM d
WHERE LOWER(a) LIKE '%%foo%%' AND LOWER(b) LIKE '%%python%%'
{code}
When we hit the above pattern match, we fall to the case matching `SqlFunction`, as `LOWER` is of that type. Inside `lookupFunction`, we have a call to `functionCatalog.lookupFunction(name)` which looks up the given function in the function catalog. Eventually, we reach a static class called `BuiltInFunctionDefinitions`, which defines all of Flink's built in functions. When we iterate the list of built in functions as follows:
{code:java}
foundDefinition = BuiltInFunctionDefinitions.getDefinitions()
                                .stream()
                                .filter(f -> functionName.equals(normalizeName(f.getName())))
                                .findFirst()
                                .map(Function.identity());
{code}
 This doesn't yield a result, because `LOWER`, inside `BuiltInFunctionDefinitions`, is defined as follows:


{code:java}
public static final BuiltInFunctionDefinition LOWER =
                new BuiltInFunctionDefinition.Builder()
                        .name("lowerCase")
                        .kind(SCALAR)
                        .outputTypeStrategy(TypeStrategies.MISSING)
                        .build();
{code}
 
And since we're using String to do the lookups, this fails to match, hence returning `null` and causing the entire pushdown to fail.
