Current date-time functions should only be evaluated all together in the rule
FinishAnalysis
, so that they have the same consistent value across the entire query plan. To do that we mark current date-time functions asUnevaluable
a while ago. Unfortunately, there are still some places that have to evaluate expressions earlier, and the expression may contain current date-time functions. #50800 is one such example.I think the move to mark these functions as
Unevaluable
is too aggressive. This PR proposes to revert this restriction to avoid potential regressions. I think the better way forward is to introduce query context to pre-evaluate these current datetime values, and the expressions just get values from the query context and makes sure it produces consistent values during the query life cycle.Why are the changes needed?
