Andy Seaborne commented on JENA-384:
------------------------------------
There are (at least) three ways to give initial bindings consistent semantics
as pure substitution
1/ Have a step in ARQ doing algebra to rewrite with substitution before giving
to a query engine implementation.
2/ Implement initial bindings via SPARQL syntax rewrite of queries to do
substitution before optimization.
3/ ParameterizedSparqlString - because the current API is based on Query
objects, using ParameterizedSparqlString would involve turning a query into a
string, substituting then reparsing. This may be acceptable as a migration
path if we deprecate initial bindings prior to removal.
> Interaction of optimization (TransformFilterEquality) and initial binding
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JENA-384
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-384
> Project: Apache Jena
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: ARQ 2.9.4, Jena 2.10.0
> Reporter: Andy Seaborne
> Labels: ARQ, optimizer
> Attachments: ReportSubstitueOptimize.java
>
>
> substitution is normally done after optimization so that it preserves the
> semantics in case of complex optional situations.
> The equality filter optimization eliminates code that can't generate a
> solution (the variable is unbound in the subexpression)
> This can be unexpected but it's neither clearly right or clearly wrong. The
> semantics of initial binding need clarifying;
> either
> pure substitution semantics, with the substitution applied before
> optimization
> or
> VALUES semantics (join with a data table) in which case elimination of
> redundant pattern matching is correct.
> In the example, it's only an issue with URIs (reason?) but the general point
> remains.
