Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-9457:
---------------------------------------------
bq. The intention of these special compose_ methods is that Java UDFs with
RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT get the primitive types in the signature.
Yes, I understand that. What I'm saying is that since those special compose are
only ever use when the function uses {{RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT}}, then those
methods should never be effectively called with null/empty inputs (since the
whole function should be bypassed before we reach the call to these methods).
So why do these special compose methods test their inputs for null/empty and
return some default value? It's useless and confusing. Instead they should
assert that the input is not null/empty since it would be a bug.

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Olivier Michallat

> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.2.0 rc1

>
> Given the following test data:
> {code}
> cqlsh:test> create table foo(k int, v int, primary key(k,v));
> cqlsh:test> insert into foo(k,v) values(1,1);
> cqlsh:test> insert into foo(k,v) values(1,2);
> cqlsh:test> insert into foo(k,v) values(1,3);
> {code}
> And the following aggregate definition:
> {code}
> cqlsh:test> CREATE FUNCTION cat(s text, v int)
> RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT
> RETURNS text
> LANGUAGE java
> AS 'return s + v;';
> cqlsh:test> CREATE AGGREGATE cats(int) SFUNC cat STYPE text INITCOND '';
> {code}
> The following should return '123', but it returns null:
> {code}
> cqlsh:test> select cats(v) from foo where k = 1;
> test.cats(v)
> ---------------
> {code}
> The empty INITCOND is treated as null, and the SFUNC is never called.
