> Consider the following query:
> {code:java}
> set hive.cbo.rule.exclusion.regex=ReduceExpressionsRule\(Project\);
> CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE t (a string, b string);
> INSERT INTO t VALUES ('1000', 'b1');
> INSERT INTO t VALUES ('2000', 'b2');
> SELECT * FROM (
>   SELECT
>    a,
>    b
>   FROM t
>    UNION ALL
>   SELECT
>    a,
>    CAST(NULL AS string)
>    FROM t) AS t2
> WHERE a = 1000;EXPLAIN CBO
> SELECT * FROM (
>   SELECT
>    a,
>    b
>   FROM t
>    UNION ALL
>   SELECT
>    a,
>    CAST(NULL AS string)
>    FROM t) AS t2
> WHERE a = 1000; {code}
> The expected result is:
> {code:java}
> 1000    b1
> 1000    NULL{code}
> An example of correct plan is as follows:
> {noformat}
> CBO PLAN:
> HiveUnion(all=[true])
>   HiveProject(a=[$0], b=[$1])
>     HiveFilter(condition=[=(CAST($0):DOUBLE, 1000)])
>       HiveTableScan(table=[[default, t]], table:alias=[t])
>   HiveProject(a=[$0], _o__c1=[null:VARCHAR(2147483647) CHARACTER SET "UTF-16LE"])
>     HiveFilter(condition=[=(CAST($0):DOUBLE, 1000)])
>       HiveTableScan(table=[[default, t]], table:alias=[t]){noformat}
>  
> Consider now a scenario where expression reduction in projections is disabled by setting the following property{_}:{_}
> {noformat}
> set hive.cbo.rule.exclusion.regex=ReduceExpressionsRule\(Project\);
> {noformat}
> In this case, the simplification of _CAST(NULL)_ into _NULL_ does not happen, and we get the following (invalid) result:
> {code:java}
> 1000    b1{code}
> produced by the following invalid plan:
> {code:java}
> CBO PLAN:
> HiveProject(a=[$0], b=[$1])
>   HiveFilter(condition=[=(CAST($0):DOUBLE, 1000)])
>     HiveTableScan(table=[[default, t]], table:alias=[t]) {code}
> h1. Problem Analysis
> At [HiveFilterSetOpTransposeRule.java#L112|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/297f510d3b581c9d4079e42caa28aa84f8486012/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/optimizer/calcite/rules/HiveFilterSetOpTransposeRule.java#L112] the _RelMetadataQuery::getPulledUpPredicates_ method infers the following predicate due to the CAST(NULL) in the projection:
> {code:java}
> (=($1, CAST(null:NULL):VARCHAR(2147483647) CHARACTER SET "UTF-16LE")){code}
> When the CAST is simplified to the NULL literal, the IS_NULL($1) predicate is inferred.
> In [HiveFilterSetOpTransposeRule.java#L114-L122|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/297f510d3b581c9d4079e42caa28aa84f8486012/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/optimizer/calcite/rules/HiveFilterSetOpTransposeRule.java#L114-L122], the rule checks if the conjunction of the predicate coming from the filter (here =(CAST($0):DOUBLE, 1000)) and the inferred predicates is satisfiable or not, under the _UnknownAsFalse_ semantics.
> To summarize, the following expression is simplified under the _UnknownAsFalse_ semantics:
> {code:java}
> AND((=($1, CAST(null:NULL):VARCHAR(2147483647) CHARACTER SET "UTF-16LE")), =(CAST($0):DOUBLE, 1000))
> {code}
> Under In such semantics, (=($1, CAST(null:NULL):...) evaluates to {_}FALSE{_}, because no value is equal to NULL (even NULL itself), AND(FALSE,  =(CAST($0):DOUBLE, 1000)) necessarily evaluates to _FALSE_ altogether, and the UNION ALL operand is pruned.
> Only by chance, when _CAST(NULL)_ is simplified to _NULL,_ we avoid the issue, due to the _IS_NULL($1)_ inferred predicate, see [HiveRelMdPredicates.java#L153-L156|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/297f510d3b581c9d4079e42caa28aa84f8486012/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/optimizer/calcite/stats/HiveRelMdPredicates.java#L153-L156] for understanding how the NULL literal is treated differently during predicate inference.
> _HiveRelMdPredicates_ should not use equality ('=') for nullable constant expressions, but rather IS NOT DISTINCT FROM, as detailed in HIVE-26733, but nonetheless the way simplification is done is not correct here, inferred predicates should be used as "context", rather than been used in a conjunctive expression, this usage does not conform with any of the similar uses of simplification with inferred predicates (see the bottom of the "Solution" section for examples and details).
> h1. Solution
> In order to correctly simplify a predicate and test if it's always false or not, we should build RexSimplify with _predicates_ as the list of predicates known to hold in the context. In this way, the different semantics are correctly taken into account.
> The code at [HiveFilterSetOpTransposeRule.java#L114-L121|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/297f510d3b581c9d4079e42caa28aa84f8486012/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/optimizer/calcite/rules/HiveFilterSetOpTransposeRule.java#L114-L121] should be replaced by the following:
> {code:java}
> final RexExecutor executor =
> Util.first(filterRel.getCluster().getPlanner().getExecutor(), RexUtil.EXECUTOR);
> final RexSimplify simplify = new RexSimplify(rexBuilder, predicates, executor);
> final RexNode x = simplify.simplifyUnknownAs(newCondition, RexUnknownAs.FALSE);{code}
> This is in line with other uses of simplification, like in Calcite:

> You can see the above method used for different kind of rels, always in the way identical to what this ticket advocates:filters:
