Right, the HashJoin and MergeJoin currently can handle one type of
comparison, not mixed...this is why when we have a join condition such as
t1.a1 = t2.a2 AND t2.b1 < t2.b2 then Drill planner currently will split it up
into equality join and the non-equality conditions. The equality is handled by
the join operator while a new Filter node is added after the join to process
the non-equality. I had created a JIRA to be able to handle both types of
comparisons in the join operator: see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3803. Do you need this support
for this particular null equality join issue ? I would have thought that your
rewrite rule would produce the IS NOT DISTINCT FROM condition, but not a mixed
condition.
