Suibian Wanwan contributed to the apache/calcite repository by developing and refining core components of the SQL query planning and optimization stack. Over five months, Suibian focused on backend development and compiler design, implementing features such as RelBuilder-based Union construction and enhancing subquery validation. Using Java and SQL, Suibian addressed complex issues like null-safe comparisons in EXISTS subqueries and corrected COUNT behavior in scalar aggregates, ensuring reliable query semantics and data integrity. The work included rigorous code refactoring, regression testing, and documentation updates, demonstrating a deep understanding of relational algebra and database internals while improving maintainability and stability.

June 2025: Delivered a critical correctness fix in Calcite RelDecorrelator for scalar aggregates. Implemented rewriteScalarAggregate to correctly handle correlated subqueries and empty inputs, ensuring accurate COUNT results and stable query plan generation. Result: increased reliability and data integrity for analytics workloads; reduced BI risk due to incorrect counts. Technologies demonstrated include Java, query planning, relational algebra rewrites, and regression testing; strong emphasis on maintainable code changes and CI validation.

In May 2025, focused on correctness of NULL handling in EXISTS subqueries with OR conditions. Implemented null-safe comparisons using IS NOT DISTINCT FROM and added tests to cover edge cases involving NULL columns. This work fixes incorrect results and strengthens regression protection in apache/calcite, delivering more reliable query semantics and improved stability for users relying on EXISTS subqueries.

November 2024: Delivered two high-impact changes for the apache/calcite project that strengthen the query planning stack and code quality. 1) Refactored SqlToRelConverter to build Union expressions with RelBuilder, simplifying code and leveraging RelBuilder capabilities; tests updated. 2) Fixed VolcanoPlanner predicate propagation by avoiding nulls from RelMdPredicates and using mq.getPulledUpPredicates(r.stripped()), ensuring rules fire reliably; tests updated. These changes reduce the risk of incorrect optimizations, improve planning stability, and demonstrate expertise in RelBuilder, VolcanoPlanner internals, and test-driven development.
