Description

Constant folding for queries don't kick in for some automatically generated query patterns which look like this.

hive> explain select count(1) from store_sales where (case ss_sold_date when '1998-01-01' then 1 else null end)=1;

This should get rewritten by pushing the equality into the case branches.

select count(1) from store_sales where (case ss_sold_date when '1998-01-01' then 1=1 else null=1 end);

Ending up with a simplified filter condition, resolving itself as

select count(1) from store_sales where ss_sold_date= '1998-01-01' ;
