> Query 1 below uses 'casttobigint()'  in the IS NOT NULL predicate and its selectivity is computed as the default 10% of the input rows, resulting in cardinality = 7.3K. The predicate in Query 2 with 'CAST' expr computes the correct cardinality of 73.05K.

> {noformat}
> Query: explain select * from date_dim d1, date_dim d2 where d1.d_week_seq = d2.d_week_seq - 52 and casttobigint(d1.d_week_seq) is not null and casttobigint(d2.d_week_seq) is not null

> Query 1  should ideally provide the same cardinality as Query 2.  Note that I had to comment out the following lines in FunctionCallExpr.java because a user query is not supposed to directly call the builtin cast function. However, for an external frontend module that calls functions in impala-frontend.jar, this is supported and we should make the behavior consistent.

> +//    }
> {noformat}
