Timo Walther commented on FLINK-4825:
-------------------------------------

[~jark] unfortunately, there many other issues than just {{TRUE/true}} e.g. when using POJOs.

> The added {{ReduceExpressionRule}} leads to inconsistent behavior. Because some parts of an expression are evalutated using Flink's code generation and some parts use Calcite's code generation.
> A very easy example: boolean expressions casted to string are represented as "TRUE/FALSE" using Calcite and "true/false" using Flink.
> I propose to implement the RexExecutor interface and forward the calls to Flink's code generation. Additional improvements in order to be more standard compliant could be solved in new Jira issues.
> I will disable the rule and the corresponding tests till this issue is fixed.
