Bug Fix (user-visible misbehavior in an official stable release)

Changelog entry (a user-readable short description of the changes that goes into CHANGELOG.md):

Fixed wrong results from a text index on a Nullable (or LowCardinality(Nullable)) column. A negated text-search predicate (NOT hasToken(col, 'x'), and likewise hasAllTokens, hasAnyTokens, hasPhrase, startsWith, endsWith, LIKE) no longer returns rows whose indexed value is NULL. The direct-read-from-text-index optimization materialized a non-Nullable 0/1 for such rows, losing the NULL that the function returns, so negation wrongly kept the NULL rows.

Description

Found by the AST-fuzzer correctness oracle (issue #106922, reproducible on default settings). The reporter later confirmed the same defect surfaces via match, like and hasPhrase (in addition to hasToken), on both fully and partially materialized (ngrams) text indexes.

Root cause: the direct-read-from-text-index optimization reads a non-Nullable UInt8 virtual column from posting-list membership. A NULL row has no tokens, so it reads as 0 (indistinguishable from a non-matching row), and the index stores no per-row null map (NULL rows are skipped at build time), so the mask cannot be reconstructed from the index alone. This 0 then loses the NULL in both direct-read modes:

Exact mode (hasToken/hasAllTokens/hasAnyTokens) fully replaces the function with the virtual column; the later cast to Nullable(UInt8) only adds an all-false null map, so NOT 0 = 1 keeps the row.
Hint mode (hasPhrase/startsWith/endsWith and the LIKE rewrites) builds and(virtual_column, real_func); for a NULL row that is and(0, NULL) = 0, so NOT 0 = 1 keeps the row too.

Fix: when the indexed (haystack) column is Nullable/LowCardinality(Nullable), demote any non-None direct read mode (Exact and Hint) to None, so the real function is evaluated per row. Granule-level pruning via the index still applies. The needle is always a non-null constant when direct read fires, so nullable-needle direct read, Array(Nullable) and mapValues paths (where the array value itself is never NULL) are unaffected, and the non-Nullable fast path is untouched.

Verified locally (debug build): every negated predicate now returns the same rows as SETTINGS query_plan_direct_read_from_text_index = 0; the regression test 02346_text_index_bug106922 covers hasToken/hasAnyTokens/hasAllTokens/hasPhrase/startsWith/endsWith/match/LIKE over Nullable and LowCardinality(Nullable) haystacks plus an ngrams partially-materialized index, and fails on a binary without the fix. Existing text-index tests pass.

#	Question	Answer
a	Deterministic repro?	Yes. On master `fc73f46fae65`, default settings: `CREATE TABLE tab (id UInt32, str Nullable(String), INDEX idx(str) TYPE text(tokenizer='splitByNonAlpha')) ENGINE=MergeTree ORDER BY id; INSERT INTO tab VALUES (1,'hello world'),(2,NULL),(3,'foo bar'),(4,NULL),(5,'hello there'); SELECT id FROM tab WHERE NOT hasToken(str,'hello') ORDER BY id;` returns `2 3 4` (wrong: NULL rows 2,4 leak); with `SETTINGS query_plan_direct_read_from_text_index=0` returns `3` (correct).
b	Root cause explained?	`hasToken`/`hasAllTokens`/`hasAnyTokens` use `TextIndexDirectReadMode::Exact`, which fully replaces the function with a virtual column read from posting-list membership (a non-Nullable `UInt8`). A NULL row has no tokens, so it materializes as `0`, indistinguishable from a non-matching row. The optimizer then casts the virtual column to `Nullable(UInt8)`, but that only adds an all-false null map, so the lost NULLs are not recovered. `NOT 0 = 1`, so the NULL row is wrongly kept. The index stores no per-row null map (NULL rows are skipped at build time, row numbers stay aligned), so it cannot be reconstructed from the index alone.
c	Fix matches root cause?	Yes. When the indexed (haystack) column is `Nullable`/`LowCardinality(Nullable)`, `traverseFunctionNode` demotes the `Exact` mode to `None`, so the real function is evaluated per row (preserving the NULL) instead of being replaced by the membership column. Granule-level pruning via the index still applies. Not a band-aid: it removes exactly the replacement step that drops the null mask.
d	Test intent preserved / new tests added?	New regression test `02346_text_index_bug106922` (`.sql`+`.reference`) added, covering `Nullable(String)`, all-NULL part, `LowCardinality(Nullable)`, `preprocessor=lower`, and `PREWHERE`; each negation query is checked against the same query with `query_plan_direct_read_from_text_index=0`. No existing test weakened.
e	Both directions demonstrated?	Yes. Without the fix the reproducer returns `2 3 4`; with the fix it returns `3`, matching the non-direct-read path. Debug trace confirmed the mode is demoted to `None` for a `Nullable(String)` haystack.
f	Fix is general, not a narrow patch?	Yes. The guard sits at the single mode-decision point (`traverseFunctionNode`) shared by all three `Exact` token functions (`hasToken`/`hasAllTokens`/`hasAnyTokens`) and both `Nullable` and `LowCardinality(Nullable)`, in WHERE and PREWHERE. Sibling paths that were already correct are intentionally untouched: nullable-needle direct read (haystack non-null), `Array(Nullable(String))` (array value never NULL), and `mapValues(Map(..., Nullable))` (extracts non-null `Array(String)`) were all verified to behave the same with and without direct read.

cc @ahmadov @CurtizJ - could you review this? When the indexed column is Nullable/LowCardinality(Nullable), the Exact direct-read replacement for hasToken/hasAllTokens/hasAnyTokens materializes a non-Nullable 0/1 from posting-list membership, so a NULL row becomes 0 and NOT hasToken(...) wrongly keeps it. The fix demotes Exact to None for Nullable haystacks in traverseFunctionNode (the index has no per-row null map to reconstruct), so the real function runs while granule pruning still applies.

AI Review

Summary

This PR moves the Nullable text-index direct-read fix to the central virtual-column replacement path, preserving direct reads by wrapping the replacement with the haystack null map. The main Nullable source cases are covered, but one supported preprocessor path still loses the effective haystack NULL, so the PR can still return wrong rows for a Nullable indexed column.

Findings

❌ Blockers

[src/Processors/QueryPlan/Optimizations/optimizeDirectReadFromTextIndex.cpp:841] The replacement restores NULL from the original source argument instead of the effective text-index haystack after preprocessing. For str Nullable(String) with INDEX idx(str) TYPE text(tokenizer = 'splitByNonAlpha', preprocessor = nullIf(str, '')), row str = '' is indexed as no tokens because the preprocessed value is NULL. The non-direct-read path evaluates hasToken(nullIf(str, ''), 'hello') as NULL, so NOT filters the row out; the current direct-read path tests isNull(str), sees false, keeps the virtual-column 0, and NOT 0 returns the row.
Suggested fix: derive the guard from the post-preprocessor haystack when that expression can be Nullable, or disable direct replacement for this case until the effective null map can be preserved.

Tests

⚠️ Add the focused regression from the open inline thread: Nullable(String) plus preprocessor = nullIf(str, ''), comparing NOT hasToken(str, 'hello') with and without query_plan_direct_read_from_text_index. The current test covers preprocessor = lower(str), which is null-preserving and cannot catch this loss.

Final Verdict

Status: ❌ Block

Minimum required action: preserve the effective post-preprocessor haystack null map for direct reads, and add the null-producing preprocessor regression above.

Pre-PR validation gate (scope-extension update)

This update extends the fix to the Hint-mode functions after @ qoega reported the same defect via match/like/hasPhrase and on partially-materialized (ngrams) indexes.

#	Question	Answer
a	Deterministic repro?	Yes. On default settings, over a `Nullable(String)` text index: `SELECT id FROM t WHERE NOT hasPhrase(str,'hello world')` returns `2,3,4,5` (NULL rows 2,4 leaked) vs the correct `3,5` with `query_plan_direct_read_from_text_index=0`. Same for `NOT endsWith(str,'world')` and `NOT (str LIKE '%world')`, on both `splitByNonAlpha` and `ngrams(3)` tokenizers.
b	Root cause explained?	Direct read materializes a non-`Nullable` `UInt8` from posting-list membership; a NULL row has no tokens so it reads as `0`. In `Hint` mode the predicate is `and(virtual_column, real_func)`, and `and(0, NULL)` folds to `0`, so `NOT 0 = 1` wrongly selects the NULL row. (The previously-fixed `Exact` mode lost the NULL the same way: `_CAST(0,'Nullable(UInt8)')` adds an all-false null map.) The text index stores no per-row null map, so the mask cannot be reconstructed from the index.
c	Fix matches root cause?	Yes. The guard in `traverseFunctionNode` is broadened from "demote `Exact`→`None`" to "demote any non-`None` mode (`Exact` and `Hint`)→`None`" when the haystack column is `Nullable`/`LowCardinality(Nullable)`. In `None` mode the real function is evaluated per row (identical to `query_plan_direct_read_from_text_index=0`, the verified-correct reference). Granule pruning via the index is preserved.
d	Test intent preserved / new tests added?	Regression test `02346_text_index_bug106922` extended to cover `hasPhrase`/`startsWith`/`endsWith`/`match`/`LIKE` over `Nullable` and `LowCardinality(Nullable)` haystacks, plus an `ngrams` partially-materialized index. Each negated query is checked against the same query with `query_plan_direct_read_from_text_index=0`. Positive predicates and the `IS NULL`/projection checks remain.
e	Both directions demonstrated?	Yes. On a binary with the Exact-only guard (no Hint fix) the test FAILS — it leaks NULL rows `2`,`4` at the `hasPhrase`/`endsWith`/`LIKE`/`ngrams` sections. With the fix the test output is byte-identical to the reference. Non-`Nullable` haystacks still use direct read and return correct results (fast path unaffected).
f	Fix is general, not a narrow patch?	Yes. The guard is keyed on haystack nullability and the direct-read mode, so it covers every direct-read function uniformly (all of `getDirectReadMode`'s `Exact` and `Hint` results) rather than enumerating function names. Paths where direct read is correct are not demoted: nullable-needle, `Array(Nullable)` (array value never NULL), `mapValues` (produces `Array(String)`), and the non-`Nullable` haystack fast path. The LIKE dictionary-scan `Exact` path was probed in null-sensitive contexts (`=0`, `IS NULL`, `OR`, `ifNull`) and does not independently leak (it is declined under `NOT` by inversion pushdown), so it is left untouched per "no speculative changes".

Pre-PR validation gate (commit `df64f0e`, mapValues fix)

#	Question	Answer
a	Deterministic repro?	Yes. `m Map(String, Nullable(String))` + `mapValues(m)` text index, `index_granularity = 128`, 10000 rows (20 NULL map values). `SELECT count() FROM tab WHERE NOT hasToken(m['k'],'needle')` returns 9988 with direct read on vs 9968 with `query_plan_direct_read_from_text_index = 0`; the 20-row excess is exactly the NULL map-value rows (ids 0, 500, ..., 9500). `ProfileEvents['TextIndexUseHint']=1` (non-bypassed Hint).
b	Root cause explained?	The nullable demotion ran right after `getDirectReadMode()`, but the mapValues / JSONAllValues / map-subcolumn branches re-set `direct_read_mode = getHintOrNoneMode()` afterwards, undoing it. In a non-bypassed Hint, `fillColumn` writes per-row posting membership, so a NULL map value reads as 0; the predicate becomes `not(and(0, NULL)) = not(0) = 1` and the NULL row is wrongly kept.
c	Fix matches root cause?	Yes. The single demotion is moved to after all mode-assignment branches, so it is the final word on `direct_read_mode` and covers every Exact/Hint construction site including the re-promoted map paths (the "enforce it centrally before creating the virtual column" option). No per-site guards, no symptom band-aid.
d	Test intent preserved / new tests added?	New regression added to `02346_text_index_bug106922`: a `Map(String, Nullable(String))` mapValues section sized to keep the Hint non-bypassed (the only condition under which the bug manifests). Existing assertions unchanged; non-Nullable mapValues still uses the index (positive `hasToken` returns 12 with `TextIndexUseHint=1`).
e	Both directions demonstrated?	Yes, on Build-ID-pinned binaries. Pre-fix (d1e1b687): hasToken/hasPhrase return 9988, null-leak count 20 -> test FAILS. Fixed (f79357df): 9968, null-leak 0 -> test PASSES; 40/40 runs pass through clickhouse-test with randomization.
f	Fix is general, not a narrow patch?	Yes. The demotion now sits after all three re-promotion sites (mapValues, JSONAllValues, map-subcolumn), so it applies to every nullable-haystack Exact/Hint construction, not just the scalar path. It is the root-cause fix (re-promotion was overwriting the mode), not a guard at the crash site.

No PR-caused failures. Ready for review.

Ergus

This fix seems to disabled all direct read for any nullable column. That is not a correct approach because it may affect performance very strongly.

There should be another root cause somewhere else. Let's say that a nullable column when we remove the nullable wrapper, it must have empty entries in the null rows, so the index must have nothing in those rows, so no matches. When direct read fills the virtual column those rows must have 0 and negating them must be 1 as expected. This is not happening at the moment, so this fix is just a way around to hide the real problem.

Ergus · 2026-06-15T12:03:36Z

@groeneai The real issue is probably in optimizeDirectReadFromTextIndex.cpp check these lines:

if (!function_node.result_type->equals(*replacement.node->result_type))
   replacement.node = &actions_dag.addCast(*replacement.node, function_node.result_type, "", context);

When hasToken(nullable_str, 'x') is replaced by the UInt8 virtual column, the types don't match, the function's result_type is Nullable(UInt8) (because the haystack is nullable), the virtual column is plain UInt8. So addCast wraps it as CAST(virtual_UInt8, 'Nullable(UInt8)'). That cast manufactures an all-false null map. Every row is declared non-null, so NULL rows become 0 with no way to distinguish them from genuinely non-matching rows.

This demoting to None in traverseFunctionNode prevents the virtual column from ever being created for nullable haystacks, which avoids the bad cast, but kills the optimization for all predicates rather than fixing the cast itself.

groeneai · 2026-06-15T14:16:26Z

@Ergus You're right on both counts, and your root cause is exact. Reworked the fix along the lines you described (pushed in 4980a85).

The defect was the type-mismatch cast in optimizeDirectReadFromTextIndex.cpp: with a Nullable haystack the predicate is Nullable(UInt8) but the virtual column is plain UInt8, so the mismatch path did CAST(vc, 'Nullable(UInt8)'). That cast adds an all-false null map, so a NULL row reads as a genuine 0 and NOT keeps it.

Fix: at that central virtual-column site, for a Nullable haystack I replaced the lossy cast with if(isNull(haystack), NULL, vc), which re-derives the haystack's own per-row null map (matching f(NULL, ...) = NULL). It keys on the haystack rather than posting-list membership, so it covers Exact, Hint and the mapValues re-promotion in one place. The haystack is picked as the non-constant Nullable argument, so equals(...) with the column on either side is handled too. For partial materialization the Exact default expression is coalesced with ifNull(real_func, 0) so the UInt8 column accepts the row and the outer wrap restores the NULL.

I removed the demote-to-None entirely, so direct read stays enabled for Nullable columns (your performance concern). Verified on a Nullable text-indexed column:

NOT hasToken(str, 'hello') returns the same rows with direct read on, with query_plan_direct_read_from_text_index = 0, and with use_skip_indexes = 0 (no divergence; NULL rows filtered as NOT hasToken(NULL, ...) = NULL).
EXPLAIN actions=1 still shows the __text_index virtual column being read, now wrapped in if(isNull(str), NULL, ...), so the optimization is not disabled.
02346 fails on a binary with the lossy cast restored and passes with the fix.

The nullIf preprocessor case (plain-String source that becomes Nullable after the preprocessor) stays out of scope here, since the predicate type is non-nullable and gets no wrap; it is tracked separately.

Pre-PR validation gate (commit `4980a85`, @Ergus redesign)

#	Question	Answer
a	Deterministic repro?	Yes. `str Nullable(String)` with a `text` index, `NOT hasToken(str, 'hello')`: on a binary with the lossy `CAST(vc, 'Nullable(UInt8)')` restored, the NULL rows are wrongly kept (result includes ids 2,4); deterministic, no randomization needed.
b	Root cause explained?	The predicate over a Nullable haystack is `Nullable(UInt8)`, but the text-index virtual column is plain `UInt8`. The type-mismatch path in `optimizeDirectReadFromTextIndex.cpp` did `addCast(vc, Nullable(UInt8))`, which manufactures an all-false null map. A NULL haystack row then reads as a genuine `0` indistinguishable from a real non-match, so `NOT 0 = 1` keeps the row. (Root cause identified by @Ergus.)
c	Fix matches root cause?	Yes. At the central virtual-column site, for a Nullable haystack the lossy cast is replaced with `if(isNull(haystack), NULL, vc)`, which carries the haystack's real per-row null map. It targets the cast itself rather than disabling the optimization. The prior demote-to-None workaround is removed.
d	Test intent preserved / new tests added?	Preserved. Existing 02346 cases unchanged. Added a "direct read stays enabled" assertion: `EXPLAIN` confirms the `__text_index` virtual column is still read and is guarded by `isNull(haystack)`, so a regression that falls back to a full scan (losing the optimization) is caught.
e	Both directions demonstrated?	Yes. Negative binary (lossy cast restored): 02346 FAILS. Fix binary (6F5273C8): 02346 PASSES, 10/10 with randomization on. `NOT hasToken` on the Nullable column agrees across direct-read-on / direct-read-off / full-scan.
f	Fix is general, not a narrow patch?	General. The wrap is at the single central virtual-column construction site, so it covers Exact, Hint and the `mapValues` re-promotion uniformly (it keys on the haystack, not posting-list membership). Haystack detection picks the non-constant Nullable argument, so `equals(...)` with the indexed column on either side is handled. Partial materialization is covered via `ifNull(real_func, 0)` on the Exact default expression.

+            const auto & is_null_node = actions_dag.addFunction(is_null_builder, {original_haystack}, "");


This still restores only the original source null map, not the effective haystack null map after the text-index preprocessor. For a nullable source column with a null-producing preprocessor, the no-direct-read path has a well-defined nullable predicate, but this wrap tests isNull(str) instead of isNull(nullIf(str, '')).

Concrete trace:

CREATE TABLE tab ( id UInt32, str Nullable(String), INDEX idx(str) TYPE text(tokenizer = 'splitByNonAlpha', preprocessor = nullIf(str, '')) ) ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY id; INSERT INTO tab VALUES (1, 'hello'), (2, ''), (3, 'foo'), (4, NULL); SELECT id FROM tab WHERE NOT hasToken(str, 'hello') ORDER BY id;

With query_plan_direct_read_from_text_index = 0, preprocessing evaluates the predicate as hasToken(nullIf(str, ''), 'hello'), so row 2 is NULL and NOT NULL filters it out. With the current direct read, the index skipped row 2, the virtual column reads 0, and if(isNull(str), NULL, 0) keeps it non-null, so NOT 0 returns row 2.

Please derive the guard from the post-preprocessor haystack when it can be nullable, and add a regression with Nullable(String) plus preprocessor = nullIf(str, '').

Rebased onto current master (HEAD 91f1febcf19) to resolve the merge conflict; the PR is mergeable again.

The conflict was mechanical only: master renamed need_preprocess_function -> need_transform_function and preprocessTextIndexFunction -> processTextIndexFunction in optimizeDirectReadFromTextIndex.cpp. No logic changed. The fix is byte-for-byte the same if(isNull(haystack), NULL, virtual_column) cast-fix from the redesign (Ergus's diagnosis): the lossy addCast(UInt8 -> Nullable(UInt8)) all-false null map is still on master, and this PR replaces it at the central virtual-column site. Direct read stays enabled for Nullable columns.

With a text skip index on a Nullable (or LowCardinality(Nullable)) column, queries like NOT hasToken(str, 'x'), NOT hasAllTokens(...) and NOT hasAnyTokens(...) wrongly returned rows whose indexed value is NULL. hasToken(NULL, 'x') is NULL and NOT NULL is NULL, so a NULL row must be filtered out (which is what happens when the index is not used). The direct-read-from-text-index optimization replaces these functions with a virtual column read from posting-list membership. That column is a plain UInt8: a NULL row has no tokens, so it materialized as 0, indistinguishable from a non-matching row. When the original predicate is Nullable (because the haystack is Nullable), the type mismatch path added CAST(virtual_column, 'Nullable(UInt8)'), which manufactures an all-false null map: every row is declared non-NULL, so the lost NULLs are not recovered and NOT 0 = 1 kept the NULL row. Fix the cast site. For a Nullable haystack, wrap the replacement as if(isNull(haystack), NULL, virtual_column): the haystack's own null map drives the result, matching f(NULL, ...) = NULL. This keeps direct read enabled (granule pruning still applies) and covers Exact, Hint and the mapValues re-promotion uniformly because it keys on the haystack rather than the posting-list membership. The haystack is located as the non-constant Nullable argument, so comparisons like equals that carry the indexed column on either side are handled too. For partial materialization the Exact-mode default expression evaluates the real function for non-materialized granules; coalesce it to 0 with ifNull(real_func, 0) so a NULL row can be inserted into the UInt8 virtual column, and let the outer wrap restore the NULL. Extends 02346_text_index_bug106922 with NOT hasToken/hasAllTokens/hasAnyTokens, LIKE/ILIKE, Hint-mode and Map(String, Nullable(String)) mapValues regressions, plus an assertion that the virtual column is still read directly and guarded by isNull(haystack) for a Nullable column, so a regression that falls back to a full scan is caught.

Rebased onto current master (33af86ef8f9) to resolve the merge conflict; PR is MERGEABLE again. HEAD is now b603d9c8396.

The conflict was mechanical: master reapplied "Text index postprocessor" (#108606), restoring the need_transform_function / processTextIndexFunction names in optimizeDirectReadFromTextIndex.cpp. The fix logic is byte-for-byte unchanged (the added-line set is identical pre/post rebase): the lossy addCast(UInt8 -> Nullable(UInt8)) is still replaced at the central virtual-column site with if(isNull(haystack), NULL, vc), so direct read stays enabled for Nullable columns and the per-row null map is restored.

One test-only adjustment: the "direct read stays enabled" EXPLAIN assertion now also accepts str IS NULL because current master renders isNull(str) in that operator form in the EXPLAIN actions dump. The assertion still verifies the guard is present (it is not weakened).

Re-verified on the rebased binary (build id 2e938339, server hash b603d9c8396):

Core NOT hasToken(<Nullable>, ...) over text-index direct-read returns rows whose value is NULL #106922: SELECT id FROM t_null WHERE NOT hasToken(str,'hello') returns only [3] across all three paths (direct read default, query_plan_direct_read_from_text_index=0, use_skip_indexes=0); NULL rows are filtered.
02346_text_index_bug106922: 10/10 PASS with randomization on.
EXPLAIN actions=1: __text_index virtual column INPUT present (direct read on) and NOT if(str IS NULL, NULL, CAST(__text_index... AS Nullable(UInt8))) wrap present.
