[SPARK-22983] Don't push filters beneath aggregates with empty groupi…
…ng expressions ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? The following SQL query should return zero rows, but in Spark it actually returns one row: ``` SELECT 1 from ( SELECT 1 AS z, MIN(a.x) FROM (select 1 as x) a WHERE false ) b where b.z != b.z ``` The problem stems from the `PushDownPredicate` rule: when this rule encounters a filter on top of an Aggregate operator, e.g. `Filter(Agg(...))`, it removes the original filter and adds a new filter onto Aggregate's child, e.g. `Agg(Filter(...))`. This is sometimes okay, but the case above is a counterexample: because there is no explicit `GROUP BY`, we are implicitly computing a global aggregate over the entire table so the original filter was not acting like a `HAVING` clause filtering the number of groups: if we push this filter then it fails to actually reduce the cardinality of the Aggregate output, leading to the wrong answer. In 2016 I fixed a similar problem involving invalid pushdowns of data-independent filters (filters which reference no columns of the filtered relation). There was additional discussion after my fix was merged which pointed out that my patch was an incomplete fix (see apache#15289), but it looks I must have either misunderstood the comment or forgot to follow up on the additional points raised there. This patch fixes the problem by choosing to never push down filters in cases where there are no grouping expressions. Since there are no grouping keys, the only columns are aggregate columns and we can't push filters defined over aggregate results, so this change won't cause us to miss out on any legitimate pushdown opportunities. ## How was this patch tested? New regression tests in `SQLQueryTestSuite` and `FilterPushdownSuite`.
