    I spent some time to understand why modifying this count makes the query 
compilation works.  
    
    The failing case encounter compilation failure in Copier (for SVR 
operator). Turns out that the idea of SizedJBlock (DRILL-4715) only works when 
we call ClassGenerator.addExpr(). This is fine with Project, Filter, 
Aggregator, etc, but not for Copier.  The Copier is doing kind of short-cut 
handling, by accessing the eval() and setup() directly [1].
    
    Ideally, we probably should try to see if we can convert Copier using same 
mechanism in Project/Filter. After some thoughts, I realized doing that might 
add additional overhead, as the current way is doing the copying directly. 
    
    Given that, I'm fine with this proposed change. Please add comments to 
explain why we set count = 1.
