Change subject: IMPALA-14065: Support WHERE clause in SHOW PARTITIONS statement
......................................................................


Patch Set 2:

I just found an issue in the change and my implementation,

* Crashes: || operator (e.g., show partitions alltypes where month = 1 || month 
= 2)
* Works: OR, AND, &&, comparison operators, IN, BETWEEN, etc.
* The same || operator works fine in SELECT ... WHERE queries
* Code Location: 
https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/23566/2/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/analysis/ShowStatsStmt.java
* Current error: Backend crash with message about function name or 
serialization failure when using ||
* Possible Cause: Analyzed expressions having implicit casts added, which 
prevented the HdfsPartitionPruner from evaluating them using partition 
metadata, forcing backend evaluation that crashed.

Approaches Tried (All Failed with ||)
1. Passing Unanalyzed Expression
   Result: IllegalStateException - isBoundBySlotIds() requires analyzed 
expressions
2. Analyze Then Pass(Current behaviour)
   Result: Backend crash - implicit casts added during analysis prevent 
partition metadata evaluation
3. Analyze Clone for Validation, Pass Original
   Result: IllegalStateException - pruner needs analyzed expressions
4. Analyze + Extract Conjuncts
   Result: Works with OR and AND, crashes with ||
5. Add Constant Folding
   Result: Still crashes with ||
6. Add registerConjuncts() (Like SelectStmt)
   Result: Still crashes with ||

NOTE:
|| vs OR: In standard SQL, || is string concatenation, but Impala apparently 
supports it as logical OR in some contexts (SELECT WHERE)

Should SHOW PARTITIONS WHERE bypass || support and only document OR as 
supported?
