-----------------------------
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 1.6.0)

> Analysis exception when using "NULL IN (...)": invalid cast
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: SPARK-8654
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8654
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SQL
>            Reporter: Santiago M. Mola
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The following query throws an analysis exception:
> {code}
> SELECT * FROM t WHERE NULL NOT IN (1, 2, 3);
> {code}
> The exception is:
> {code}
> org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: invalid cast from int to null;
> 	at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.CheckAnalysis$class.failAnalysis(CheckAnalysis.scala:38)
> 	at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.Analyzer.failAnalysis(Analyzer.scala:42)
> 	at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.CheckAnalysis$$anonfun$checkAnalysis$1$$anonfun$apply$2.applyOrElse(CheckAnalysis.scala:66)
> 	at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.CheckAnalysis$$anonfun$checkAnalysis$1$$anonfun$apply$2.applyOrElse(CheckAnalysis.scala:52)
> {code}
> Here is a test that can be added to AnalysisSuite to check the issue:
> {code}
>   test("SPARK-XXXX regression test") {
>     val plan = Project(Alias(In(Literal(null), Seq(Literal(1), Literal(2))), "a")() :: Nil,
>       LocalRelation()
>     )
>     caseInsensitiveAnalyze(plan)
>   }
> {code}
> Note that this kind of query is a corner case, but it is still valid SQL. An expression such as "NULL IN (...)" or "NULL NOT IN (...)" always gives NULL as a result, even if the list contains NULL. So it is safe to translate these expressions to Literal(null) during analysis.
