[jira] [Created] (SPARK-17995) Use new attributes for columns from outer joins

Ryan Blue created SPARK-17995:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Use new attributes for columns from outer joins
                 Key: SPARK-17995
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17995
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.6.2, 2.1.0
            Reporter: Ryan Blue


Plans involving outer joins use the same attribute reference (by exprId) to reference columns above the join and below the join. This is a false equivalence that leads to bugs like SPARK-16181, in which an attributes were incorrectly replaced by the optimizer. The column has a different schema above the outer join because its values may be null. The fix for that issue, [PR #13884](https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/13884) has a TODO comment from [~cloud_fan] to fix this by using different attributes instead of needing to special-case outer joins in rules and this issue is to track that improvement.
