Let's start from the example: SELECT u.user_id_0, u.name, o.order_id, p.payment_id, s.location FROM Users u RIGHT JOIN Orders o ON u.user_id_0 = o.user_id_1 RIGHT JOIN Payments p ON u.user_id_0 = p.user_id_2 INNER JOIN Shipments s ON p.user_id_2 = s.user_id_3 So the original ast will look like: <img width="424" height="325" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4a75d400-f516-4705-abb4-cedc0f1f27d8" /> After right join to left join convertion: <img width="424" height="325" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f69e85ec-efae-4d10-91a9-35d29a73d7a9" /> In this MR I get rid of projections when converting to multi join (No INNER or LEFT joins but may be projections). So It will look like this: <img width="424" height="325" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/84a34557-2f74-4543-9558-654b8b2e9594" /> So what's the problem with tests? StreamExecMultiJoin together with StreamingMultiJoinOperator highly relies on the fact that the original ast will have joins only on the left side. However, in the example above MultiJoin(P, O, U, S) need to firstly merge O and U, then P and JoinedRow from O and U, and then JoinedRow from P, O, U with S. But now it merges P and O first like we have different query structure. Why can't we construct MJ(O, U, P, S)? Because P must be on the right side of O, U to consider correct join types. What I try to do: After adding support for opt rel plan construction for right joins I've added semantic tests. Then I fixed StreamExecMultiJoin to generate proper join conditions without relying on the specific AST structure. Now I'm working on adapting StreamingMultiJoinOperator to work with described cases. I'm going to construct something like this: *Before*: When record arrives we start to construct resulting record from leftmost table With example above: MJ(P, O, U, S) ---> when record from User arrives we merge P and O, PO and U, POU and S leading to incorrect result. *After*: When record arrives we start to construct resulting record from leftmost table from proper level: Example: MJ(P, O, U, S) <img width="532" height="279" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3c662f4a-9a2e-4395-b0a6-dded9f686084" /> This way we merge O and U, then P and OU, and then POU with S. Also we can save original join type for the level. Also it does not matter if we change right joins to left ones before JoinToMultiJoinRule or after. We will need to add projection on top of multi join anyway and handle right-side joins in StreamingMultiJoinOperator. Since we already have FlinkRightToLeftJoinRule I think it's ok to assume it will be applied before JoinToMultiJoinRule. @gustavodemorais let me know your thoughts on it, my friend. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
