[jira] [Created] (FLINK-40735) OVER window ordered by a non-time attribute fails for LAG and ARRAY_AGG when a row arrives out of order

sepuri sai krishna created FLINK-40735:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: OVER window ordered by a non-time attribute fails for LAG and ARRAY_AGG when a row arrives out of order
                 Key: FLINK-40735
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-40735
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Table SQL / Runtime
    Affects Versions: 2.1.3, 2.2.1, 2.3.0
            Reporter: sepuri sai krishna
         Attachments: NonTimeOverRangeRepro.java, pom.xml

In streaming mode, an {{OVER}} window ordered by a non-time attribute fails at runtime for
{{LAG}}, {{ARRAY_AGG}}, {{COLLECT}} and {{PERCENTILE}} as soon as a row arrives that does
not sort to the end of its partition.

{code:sql}
SELECT ord, LAG(v,1) OVER (PARTITION BY k ORDER BY ord)
FROM (VALUES ('a',30,'p'),('a',20,'q'),('a',10,'r')) AS t(k,ord,v);
{code}

{noformat}
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unmaterialized BinaryRawValueData cannot be compared.
  at org.apache.flink.table.data.binary.BinaryRawValueData.equals(BinaryRawValueData.java:85)
  at org.apache.flink.table.data.GenericRowData.equals(GenericRowData.java:229)
  ...
{noformat}

Two triggers, both ordinary in a stream:
* a row arriving out of order on the ordering column
* two rows sharing the same ordering value

A single row, or rows arriving in ascending order, both work.

Affected: {{LAG}}, {{ARRAY_AGG}}, {{COLLECT}}, {{PERCENTILE}}.
Unaffected on the same data: {{COUNT}}, {{SUM}}, {{AVG}}, {{MIN}}, {{MAX}}, {{FIRST_VALUE}},
{{LAST_VALUE}}, {{LISTAGG}}, {{ROW_NUMBER}}, {{RANK}}, {{DENSE_RANK}}, {{VAR_POP}},
{{STDDEV_POP}}.

Also reproduces with a {{datagen}} source whose ordering column is a random INT, so the
rows arrive unordered naturally rather than through {{VALUES}}:

{code:sql}
CREATE TABLE src (k STRING, ord INT, v STRING) WITH (
  'connector'='datagen','number-of-rows'='20',
  'fields.k.length'='1','fields.v.length'='2',
  'fields.ord.min'='1','fields.ord.max'='1000');
{code}

Reproduced on 2.1.3, 2.2.1 and 2.3.0. On 2.0.0 the same query is rejected at plan time with
{{OVER windows' ordering in stream mode must be defined on a time attribute}}.

Reproducer attached.
