-------------------------------------

             Summary: FILTER clause for aggregate functions is ignored
                 Key: DRILL-7421
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7421
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.16.0
            Reporter: Vova Vysotskyi
             Fix For: Future


Drill ignores FILTER clause for aggregate functions.
The following query returns the wrong result:
{code:sql}
select count(*), count(employee_id) filter(where employee_id < 5) from 
{code}
{noformat}
cp.`employee.json`;
+--------+--------+
| EXPR$0 | EXPR$1 |
+--------+--------+
| 1155 | 1155 |
+--------+--------+
{noformat}

Calcite already supports this feature (CALCITE-704) and as it is mentioned in 
the Jira ticket, such syntax is allowed by SQL standard.

As a short solution, we should throw an exception for such queries that this 
functionality is not supported.
As was mentioned in Calcite's Jira, some queries may be rewritten using switch 
case:
{code:sql}
select count(*), count(case when employee_id < 5 then employee_id else null 
end) from cp.`employee.json`;
{code}
It is possible to add functionality into Drill to rewrite filtered aggregate 
calls in such a way, but some aggregate functions still would not be supported, 
for example, {{count(*)}}.
