Current implementation of ROW_NUMBER() window function does not stop execution 
once criteria is met

                 Key: DERBY-3505
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3505
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 10.4.0.0
            Reporter: Thomas Nielsen


Using ROW_NUMBER() to limit the number of rows returned is typically done with 
the following query:

    SELECT * FROM (
      SELECT row_number() over () as r, t.* FROM T
    ) AS tmp WHERE r <= 3;

The query plan shows that the restriction is perfomed in the outermost 
ProjectRestrictResultSet, and that it actually sees all rows in the table.

  ******* Project-Restrict ResultSet (1):
  Number of opens = 1
  Rows seen = 1280
  Rows filtered = 1277
  restriction = true

In this case all 1280 rows are read from disk, and passed up the ResultSet 
chain. 1277 rows are filtered out so that, in the end, we only return 3 rows. 
Ideally the execution should stop after pulling only 3 rows through the chain.
