ClassCastException (DateString cannot be cast to TimestampString) in Drill

Hi, team!

Working on upgrade of Calcite version for Drill I got class cast exceptions
like "ClassCastException: org.apache.calcite.util.DateString cannot be cast
to org.apache.calcite.util.TimestampString" in Drill.

This issue is reproducible we have "date + interval" situation, for example:



*where  o.o_orderdate >= date '1996-10-01'  and o.o_orderdate < date
'1996-10-01' + interval '3' month*

In this case Drill will cast DATE to TIMESTAMP and we will get
ClassCastException when Calcite will try to compare DateString
('1996-10-01') with TimestampString ('1996-10-01' + interval '3'). To avoid
this situation added a general class for Date/Time/Timestamp literals to
make them comparable to each other. You can see my commit in my local
branch: https://github.com/KulykRoman/incubator-calcite/commit/0656d8fec

So do I need to create Calcite Jira and open pull request on Calcite master
or this changes should be only in Drill-Calcite branch?

I basically agree with that principle. However, there are other principles: (a) when comparing dates to timestamps, say TIMESTAMP ‘2017-1-1 12:34:54’ <= DATE ‘2017-1-1’, does it give the answer one would expect?, (b) what does the standard say (if anything)?, (c) what do other databases do? I would weigh them all before making a decision.

Please make comments on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1178 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1178>.

IMHO to allow reflexivity, symmetry and transitivity relations for
equivalence '=';
transitivity and anti-reflexivity relations for '>' operator, we should
cast both operands to the type that has greater precision.

I think you’re running into https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1178 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1178> which was logged by a Drill committer a while ago but has not been fixed. Calcite is strongly typed internally. So if we are to allow ’aTimestamp > aDate’ then we either have to add a new overload of ‘>’ that allows (timestamp, date) arguments, or we need to insert implicit casts, so the expression becomes either ‘cast(aTimestamp AS DATE) > aDate’ or ‘aTimestamp > CAST(aDate AS TIMESTAMP)’.

I don’t know which of these 3 alternatives matches the desired semantics of ‘>’.

What should the following expressions return?

  TIMESTAMP ‘1970-01-01 12:00:00’ > DATE ‘1970-01-01’
  TIMESTAMP ‘1970-01-01 12:00:00’ = DATE ‘1970-01-01’
  TIMESTAMP ‘1970-01-01 12:00:00’ >= DATE ‘1970-01-01’
