             Summary: EXISTS_AGG, an aggregate function that returns whether 
count is positive
                 Key: CALCITE-4763
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-4763
             Project: Calcite
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Julian Hyde


Add {{EXISTS_AGG}}, an aggregate function that returns whether count is greater 
than zero.

Thus {{EXISTS_AGG(*)}} is equivalent to {{COUNT(*) > 0}}, and {{EXISTS_AGG(c)}} 
is equivalent to {{COUNT(c) > 0}}.

{{EXISTS_AGG}} would mainly be of use internally. Since it produces a 
{{BOOLEAN}} value, we can use the value directly from an {{Aggregate}} without 
an intervening {{Project}}. It also captures the fact that we don't care how 
many rows were produced.

See also {{TRUE_AGG}}, CALCITE-4334.
