-----------------------------------
Labels: pull-request-available (was: )
> Deduplicate output should only be insert-only when ordered by time attribute
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-40368
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-40368
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Table SQL / Planner
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0, 2.2.1, 2.1.3
> Reporter: David Anderson
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> FLINK-37005 went too far, and the planner now incorrectly treats
> deduplication with ordering ASC on an ordering column that not a time
> attribute as producing an insert-only result.
> Claude suggests this approach for fixing this:
> Make the inference guard match the translation guard — add the
> {{sortOnTimeAttributeOnly}} condition at
> FlinkChangelogModeInferenceProgram.scala:264 so non-time top-1 ranks fall
> into the existing {{ALL_CHANGES}} branch at line 286. One wrinkle: you can't
> simply call {{canConvertToDeduplicate}} there, because it calls
> {{{}ChangelogPlanUtils.inputInsertOnly{}}}, which reads a trait that isn't
> set yet during inference — the same trap documented at
> FlinkRelMdModifiedMonotonicity.scala:252. So expose
> {{RankUtil.sortOnTimeAttributeOnly}} (currently private) and combine it with
> the locally computed {{insertOnly}} from {{{}children{}}}.
> Test gap worth closing at the same time: {{DeduplicateTest}} only covers
> {{proctime/rowtime/PROCTIME()}} ordering — there is no case with a plain
> column. Relatedly, {{StreamPhysicalRank.getDeduplicateDescription}} hardcodes
> {{{}order=[PROCTIME|ROWTIME]{}}}, which is another sign the dedup path
> assumes a time attribute throughout.
