`<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
Introduce client-side sorting of groups based on aggregate
functions. To allow this, the Analyzer has been extended to push down
to underlying Aggregate, aggregate function and the Querier has been
extended to identify the case and consume the results in order and sort
them based on the given columns.
The underlying QueryContainer has been slightly modified to allow a view
of the underlying values being extracted as the columns used for sorting
might not be requested by the user.
The PR also adds minor tweaks, mainly related to tree output.
Close#35118
Currently aggregate functions can operate only directly on fields.
They cannot be used on top of scalar functions as painless scripting
is currently not supported.
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.

* Added SSL configuration options tests
Removed the allow.self.signed option from the documentation since we allow
by default self signed certificates as well.
* Added more tests
Doc-value fields now return a value that is based on the mappings rather than
the script implementation by default.
This deprecates the special `use_field_mapping` docvalue format which was added
in #29639 only to ease the transition to 7.x and it is not necessary anymore in
7.0.
* 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
In order to distinguish the ES-SQL type from the standard SQL type
add a new ES-SQL column that will make clear this distingstion,
e.g.: datetime vs TIMSTAMP
Fixes: #37519
* 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.
Move classes under the same package to avoid internal classes being
exposed to the outside. Remove public visibility outside 3 classes:
EsDriver, EsDataSource and EsTypes.
The driver only has one package, namely org.elasticsearch.xpack.sql.jdbc
Use Es prefix for classes to ease name conflict and indicate their
destination
Fix#35437
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
Extend querying support on multiple indices from being strictly
identical to being just compatible.
Use FieldCapabilities API (extended through #33803) for mapping merging.
Close#31837#31611
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
Make SQL aware of missing and/or unmapped fields treating them as NULL
Make _all_ functions and operators null-safe aware, including when used
in filtering or sorting contexts
Add missing and null-safe doc value extractor
Modify dataset to have null fields spread around (in groups of 10)
Enforce missing last and unmapped_type inside sorting
Consolidate Predicate templating and declaration
Add support for Like/RLike in scripting
Generalize NULLS LAST/FIRST
Introduce early schema declaration for CSV spec tests: to keep the doc
snippets in place (introduce schema:: prefix for declaration)
upfront.
Fix#32079
* New OCTET_LENGTH function
* Changed the way the FunctionRegistry stores functions, considering the alphabetic ordering by name
* Added documentation for the RANDOM function
Previously, parsing an arithmetic expression with `*` and no spaces,
e.g.: `2*i` threw a parsing exception as the grammar rule for
tableIdentifier was clashing with the rule for arithmetic operator `*`.
This issue comes already in the lexer and the left part of the
expression (in our example `2*`) was recognised as a
TABLE_IDENTIFIER token.
The solution adopted is to allow the `*` wildcard in the table name
only if it's surrounded with double quotes, e.g.: `"my*index"`
Closes: #33957
* 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)
Extend SHOW TABLES, DESCRIBE and SHOW COLUMNS to support table
identifiers not just SQL LIKE pattern.
This allows both Elasticsearch-style multi-index patterns and SQL LIKE.
To disambiguate between the two (as the " vs ' can be easy to miss),
the grammar now requires LIKE keyword as a prefix for all LIKE-like
patterns.
Also added some docs comparing the two types of patterns.
Fix#33294
For historical reasons SQL restricts GROUP BY to only one field.
This commit removes the restriction and improves the test suite with
multi group by tests.
Close#31793
Significantly improve the example snippets in the documentation.
The examples are part of the test suite and checked nightly.
To help readability, the existing dataset was extended (test_emp renamed
to emp plus library).
Improve output of JDBC tests to be consistent with the CLI
Add lenient flag to JDBC asserts to allow type widening (a long is
equivalent to a integer as long as the value is the same).
