Fabian Hueske created FLINK-5520: ------------------------------------ Summary: Disable outer joins with non-equality predicates Key: FLINK-5520 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5520 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Table API & SQL Affects Versions: 1.2.0 Reporter: Fabian Hueske Priority: Blocker Fix For: 1.2.0
Outer joins with non-equality predicates (and at least one equality predicate) compute incorrect results. Since this is not a very common requirement, I propose to disable this feature for the 1.2.0 release and correctly implement it for a later version. The fix should add checks in the Table API validation phase (to get a good error message) and in the DataSetJoinRule to prevent translation of SQL queries with non-equality predicates on outer joins. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
