Fix OR handling in inToMarkJoin and scalarToSingleJoin (#271)

[zhouqingqing]

Summary

Fixes #271 — OR expressions were only handled in existsToMarkJoin but not in inToMarkJoin or scalarToSingleJoin. When a correlated IN/scalar subquery appeared inside an OR (e.g., a1 IN (select ...) OR a2 > 1), decorrelation did not preserve OR semantics.

• Apply the same OR-aware filter extraction from existsToMarkJoin to extractCurINExprFromNodeAFilter and djoinOnRightFilter
• Detect OR conjuncts with extra subqueries via hasAnyExtraSubqueryExprInOR
• Set canReplace flag so the caller advances innerNode correctly
• Pass canReplace ref from oneSubqueryToJoin to all three methods

Note: The nested case (OR inside a scalar subquery's filter alongside another correlated subquery — the original #271 example) remains unsupported during unnesting and falls back to nested-loop execution.

Test plan

• New tests: correlated IN in OR, NOT IN in OR, two scalar subqueries in OR
• All 72 existing tests pass
• TPC-H / TPC-DS benchmarks pass

Pull request overview

This PR primarily targets correct decorrelation semantics for correlated IN and scalar subqueries when they appear inside OR predicates (issue #271), and updates regression expectations/tests to reflect the new planning/execution behavior.

Changes:

• Extend OR-aware filter extraction logic from existsToMarkJoin to inToMarkJoin and scalarToSingleJoin via a shared “extra subquery in OR” detection + canReplace signaling.
• Adjust planning/execution semantics in several areas (e.g., filter pushdown across LEFT JOIN boundaries, LIKE handling, IN/NOT IN null semantics, hash join null-key matching, constant folding, etc.).
• Add/adjust unit tests and update regression expected outputs/plan costs accordingly.

VisitFuncExpr no longer propagates the parsed DISTINCT modifier into the expression tree. The grammar still allows K_DISTINCT in function calls, so queries like COUNT(DISTINCT col) will now be parsed but executed as non-distinct (or otherwise incorrectly). Please pass the DISTINCT flag through (e.g., to BuildFuncExpr) and ensure aggregates that support DISTINCT honor it, or reject DISTINCT with a clear error to avoid silent wrong results.

Suggested change

	bool hasStar = context.GetToken(SQLiteParser.STAR, 0) != null;
	return FuncExpr.BuildFuncExpr(context.function_name().GetText(), args, hasStar);
	var funcName = context.function_name().GetText();
	bool hasStar = context.GetToken(SQLiteParser.STAR, 0) != null;
	bool hasDistinct = context.K_DISTINCT() != null;
	if (hasDistinct)
	{
	throw new NotSupportedException(
	$"DISTINCT in function arguments is not supported for function '{funcName}'.");
	}
	return FuncExpr.BuildFuncExpr(funcName, args, hasStar);

AggCount still exposes an isDistinct_ flag (and allocates distinctSet_ in Init), but Accum no longer performs any distinct tracking and will count duplicates even when isDistinct_ is true. Either restore DISTINCT handling (using distinctSet_) or remove/disable DISTINCT support consistently (including parser/grammar) to avoid incorrect results.

Suggested change

	count_ = old is null ? 1 : (long)old + 1;
	if (!isDistinct_ || distinctSet_.Add(arg))
	count_ = old is null ? 1 : (long)old + 1;

NATURAL JOIN is being mapped to an inner/left join type, but no code adds the required equality predicates on same-named columns. With the current Plan-building changes that allow a null join constraint, NATURAL JOIN will behave like a CROSS JOIN whenever there are common column names, producing incorrect results. Either implement natural-join predicate generation during binding/planning, or reject NATURAL JOIN with a NotImplemented/SemanticAnalyzeException until supported.

Suggested change

	case "naturaljoin": type = JoinType.Inner; break;
	case "naturalleftjoin":
	case "naturalleftouterjoin": type = JoinType.Left; break;
	case "naturaljoin":
	case "naturalleftjoin":
	case "naturalleftouterjoin":
	throw new SemanticAnalyzeException("NATURAL JOIN is not implemented");

The PR description focuses on OR-handling for IN/scalar decorrelation (#271), but this diff also introduces several unrelated feature/semantic changes (e.g., CROSS/NATURAL JOIN parsing/execution, COUNT(*)/COUNT() validation, DISTINCT handling changes, LIKE regex semantics, 3-valued logic tweaks, outer-join filter pushdown rules). Please either update the PR description to enumerate these behavior changes and their rationale, or split them into separate PRs to keep review scope and risk manageable.

isNullRejectingPredicate is overly simplistic and can incorrectly allow pushing single-table predicates into the null-supplying side of a user LEFT JOIN, changing query results. For example, a predicate like (b.x = 1 OR b.x IS NULL) is not null-rejecting (it can be TRUE when b.* is NULL), but this helper would return true and permit pushdown, turning filtered matches into NULL-extended rows. Consider making this check conservative: detect any subexpression that can evaluate TRUE when all referenced cols are NULL (e.g., IS NULL, OR containing IS NULL, COALESCE, etc.), or explicitly evaluate the predicate under an “all referenced cols = NULL” environment when feasible. Also the comment says IS NOT NULL is not null-rejecting, but it actually is null-rejecting.

	// Be conservative: only return true for shapes we know are null-rejecting.
	static bool isIsNotNullPredicate(Expr pred)

	string text = pred.ToString().Trim().ToLowerInvariant();
	return text.EndsWith(" is not null");
	}

	if (op == "or")
	{
	// OR can still be true on all-NULL input if either branch can be true,
	// so it is null-rejecting only when both branches are null-rejecting.
	return isNullRejectingPredicate(be.lchild_()) &&
	isNullRejectingPredicate(be.rchild_());

	// IS NULL is not null-rejecting, while IS NOT NULL is.
	return isIsNotNullPredicate(pred);
	}
	// Simple comparison-like binary predicates (=, <, >, LIKE, etc.)
	// are null-rejecting under all-NULL input.
	return true;
	}
	// Unknown expression shapes are treated conservatively as not
	// null-rejecting so they are not pushed into the null-supplying
	// side of a user-written LEFT JOIN.
	return false;

inToMarkJoin assumes nodeB.filter_ is non-null, but correlated IN subqueries can still have nodeBFilter == null after pushdown/rewrite (e.g., a.x IN (SELECT b.y FROM b) or correlation living in join nodes). This will throw a NullReference when building MarkerExpr (nodeBFilter.tableRefs_) and later when calling nodeBFilter.DeParameter(...) / AddAndFilter(nodeBFilter). Add a null guard and either (1) treat the join predicate as TRUE with appropriate tableRefs for the marker, or (2) bail out to the non-unnested execution path for this subquery.
