fn build_is_null_column_expr(
expr: &Arc<dyn PhysicalExpr>,
schema: &Schema,
required_columns: &mut RequiredColumns,
with_not: bool,
) -> Option<Arc<dyn PhysicalExpr>>Expand description
Given an expression reference to expr, if expr is a column expression,
returns a pruning expression in terms of IsNull that will evaluate to true
if the column may contain null, and false if definitely does not
contain null.
If with_not is true, build a pruning expression for col IS NOT NULL: col_count != col_null_count
The pruning expression evaluates to true ONLY if the column definitely CONTAINS
at least one NULL value. In this case we can know that IS NOT NULL can not be true and
thus can prune the row group / value
