-------------------------------------------
Ok, my bad. Lets try this again.
If I follow the NAAJ explanation in the section 6.1 of the Enhanced Subquery
Optimizations in Oracle paper
(http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/2/vldb09-423.pdf). Then I can rewrite the
following query {{select * from tbl_a where a not in (select b from tbl_b)}}
into the following (given that tbl_b has n elements):
{noformat}
SELECT *
FROM TBL_a
WHERE a <> b1 AND a <> b2 AND ... AND a <> bn
{noformat}
My basic thought here is that if we are comparing a complete tuple, for
instance (2, 1), to an incomplete tuple, for instance (2, null), then the
result should be unknown (null). Following this it would be obvious that a
conjunctive predicate containing such an incomplete comparison should also
evaluate to unknown.
It now boils down to how we should compare the tuples; i.e. how is {{a <> b}}
evaluated. Note that I do not have an answer here. The following two things
could apply:
* {{not(a.x1 = b.x1 and a.x2 = b.x2 and ... and a.xn = b.xn)}} - I would lean
towards this option.
* {{a.x1 <> b.x1 or a.x2 <> b.x2 or ... or a.xn <> b.xn)}} - Spark currently
implements this option if you compare structs.

> Key: SPARK-19017
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19017
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.1.0
> Reporter: Nattavut Sutyanyong
>
> When putting more than one column in the NOT IN, the query may not return
> correctly if there is a null data. We can demonstrate the problem with the
> following data set and query:
> {code}
> Seq((2,1)).toDF("a1","b1").createOrReplaceTempView("t1")
> Seq[(java.lang.Integer,java.lang.Integer)]((1,null)).toDF("a2","b2").createOrReplaceTempView("t2")
> sql("select * from t1 where (a1,b1) not in (select a2,b2 from t2)").show
> +---+---+
> | a1| b1|
> +---+---+
> +---+---+
> {code}
