Extend CAST to support all data types notations (whether SQL or ES
specific)
Fix#40282
(cherry picked from commit eb2ee8a344da946920598839a5db76c8bb9bc3fe)
`<expression>::<dataType>` is a simplified altenative syntax to
`CAST(<expression> AS <dataType> which exists in PostgreSQL and
provides an improved user experience and possibly more compact
SQL queries.
Fixes: #38717
FIRST and LAST can be used with one argument and work similarly to MIN
and MAX but they are implemented using a Top Hits aggregation and
therefore can also operate on keyword fields. When a second argument is
provided then they return the first/last value of the first arg when its
values are ordered ascending/descending (respectively) by the values of
the second argument. Currently because of the usage of a Top Hits
aggregation FIRST and LAST cannot be used in the HAVING clause of a
GROUP BY query to filter on the results of the aggregation.

* SQL: Rename SQL data type DATE to DATETIME
SQL data type DATE has only the date part (e.g.: 2019-01-14)
without any time information. Previously the SQL type DATE was
referring to the ES DATE which contains also the time part along
with TZ information. To conform with SQL data types the data type
`DATE` is renamed to `DATETIME`, since it includes also the time,
as a new runtime SQL `DATE` data type will be introduced down the road,
which only contains the date part and meets the SQL standard.
Closes: #36440
* Address comments
* provide overriden `hashCode` and toString methods to account for `DISTINCT`
* change the analyzer for scenarios where `COUNT <field_name>` and `COUNT DISTINCT` have different paths
* defined a new `filter` aggregation encapsulating an `exists` query to filter out null or missing values
Enhance error message for the case that the 2nd argument of PERCENTILE
and PERCENTILE_RANK is not a foldable, as it doesn't make sense to have
a dynamic value coming from a field.
Fixes: #36903
* Added Limitations page
* Made the aggregations page follow the common template for functions
* Modified all tables to have the first row's cells content centered
* Polishing in other various sections
Allow scripts to correctly reference grouping functions
Fix bug in translation of date/time functions mixed with histograms.
Enhance Verifier to prevent histograms being nested inside other
functions inside GROUP BY (as it implies double grouping)
Extend Histogram docs
Introduce Histogram grouping function for bucketing/grouping data based
on a given range. Both date and numeric histograms are supported using
the appropriate range declaration (numbers vs intervals).
SELECT HISTOGRAM(number, 50) AS h FROM index GROUP BY h
SELECT HISTOGRAM(date, INTERVAL 1 YEAR) AS h FROM index GROUP BY h
In addition add multiply operator for Intervals
Add docs for intervals and histogram
Fix#36509
Add CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as keyword as well function alongside NOW()
These return the current date/time for the given query, computed when
the statement reaches the server. For completeness, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
also accepts precision as an optional parameter.
Fix#36534
* Renamed DAY_OF_WEEK and WEEK_OF_YEAR functions to their ISO version and
added the same functions with different functionality.
* Rewritten the datetime functions documentation to follow the format of the other
functions documentation pages.
Add GREATEST(expr1, expr2, ... exprN) and LEAST(expr1, expr2, exprN)
functions which are in the family of CONDITIONAL functions.
Implementation follows PostgreSQL behaviour, so the functions return
`NULL` when all of their arguments evaluate to `NULL`.
Renamed `CoalescePipe` and `CoalesceProcessor` to `ConditionalPipe` and
`ConditionalProcessor` respectively, to be able to reuse them for
`Greatest` and `Least` evaluations. To achieve that `ConditionalOperation`
has been added to differentiate between the functionalities at execution
time.
Closes: #35878
This operator handles nulls in different way than the normal `=`.
If one of the operants is `null` and the other not it returns `false`.
If both operants are `null` it returns `true`. Therefore in contrary to
`=`, which returns `null` if at least one of the operants is `null`, this one
never returns `null` as a result.
Closes: #35871
Implement the functionality to translate the
`field IN (value1, value2,...)` expressions to proper Lucene queries
or painless script or local processors depending on the use case.
The `IN` expression can be used in SELECT, WHERE and HAVING clauses.
Closes: #32955
`CONVERT` works exactly like cast with slightly different syntax:
`CONVERT(<value>, <data_type)` as opposed to `CAST(<value> AS <data_type>)`
Moreover it support format of the MS-SQL data types `SQL_<type>`,
e.g.: `SQL_INTEGER`
Closes: #34513
* New OCTET_LENGTH function
* Changed the way the FunctionRegistry stores functions, considering the alphabetic ordering by name
* Added documentation for the RANDOM function
* Changed the format of the String functions documentation page.
* Adopted the same format for Math functions, but completely changed the examples.
* Added missing documentation for Math functions.
* Added TRUNCATE function, modified ROUND to accept two parameters instead of one. Made the second parameter optional for both functions.
* Added documentation for both functions.
Split function section into multiple chapters
Add String functions
Add (small) section on Conversion/Cast functions
Add missing aggregation functions
Enable documentation testing (was disabled by accident). While at it,
fix failing tests
Improve spec tests to allow multi-line queries (useful for docs)
Add ability to ignore a spec test (name should end with -Ignore)
