For current implementation, the execution plan is incorrect when do event time temporal join on an upsert source. There's two problems: 1. for an upsert source, we should not add a ChangelogNormalize node under a temporal join input, or it will damage the versions of the version table. For versioned tables, we use a single-temporal mechanism which relies sequencial records of a same key to ensure the valid period of each version, so if the ChangelogNormalize was added then an UB message will be produced based on the previous UA or Insert message, and all the columns are totally same include event time, e.g., original upsert input {code} +I (key1, '2022-11-02 10:00:00', a1) +U (key1, '2022-11-02 10:01:03', a2) {code} the versioned data should be: {code} v1 [~, '2022-11-02 10:00:00') v2 ['2022-11-02 10:00:00', '2022-11-02 10:01:03') {code} after ChangelogNormalize's processing, will output: {code} +I (key1, '2022-11-02 10:00:00', a1) -U (key1, '2022-11-02 10:00:00', a1) +U (key1, '2022-11-02 10:01:03', a2) {code} versions are incorrect: {code} v1 ['2022-11-02 10:00:00', '2022-11-02 10:00:00') // invalid period v2 ['2022-11-02 10:00:00', '2022-11-02 10:01:03') {code} 2. semantically, a filter cannot be pushed into a temporal join which using event time, otherwise, the filter may also corrupt the versioned table -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
