[FIP-37] Add bitmap Phase 2 functions and register via FlussCatalog

[Prajwal-banakar]

Purpose

Linked issue: Part of #3289

This PR completes the Phase 2 implementation of FIP-37 by adding the three remaining RoaringBitmap functions: one aggregate function (rb_xor_agg) and two scalar functions (rb_xor, rb_andnot). All three are registered as built-in catalog functions in FlussCatalog, building on the infrastructure from PR #3319 and the Phase 1 functions from PRs #3398 and #3492.

After USE CATALOG fluss_catalog, users can call these functions directly in Flink SQL without any CREATE TEMPORARY FUNCTION statement.

Brief change log

New files in fluss-flink/fluss-flink-common:

RbXorAggFunction.java — rb_xor_agg(BYTES) -> BYTES. Aggregates multiple serialized RoaringBitmaps via bitwise XOR across rows. Returns elements that appear in an odd number of input bitmaps — useful for change detection and symmetric difference analysis. Extends AbstractRbAggFunction.

RbXorFunction.java — rb_xor(BYTES, BYTES) -> BYTES. Returns the symmetric difference of two bitmaps: elements present in exactly one of the two inputs. Returns null if either argument is null.

RbAndNotFunction.java — rb_andnot(BYTES, BYTES) -> BYTES. Returns elements present in the left bitmap but not in the right bitmap. Useful for exclusion analysis such as "users who visited page A but not page B." Returns null if either argument is null.

Modified files:

FlinkCatalog.java — registers rb_xor_agg, rb_xor, and rb_andnot in the BUILTIN_BITMAP_FUNCTIONS map.

RbAggFunctionsTest.java — adds unit tests for RbXorAggFunction covering basic XOR correctness, null input handling, empty accumulator, merge, and retract throws.

RbScalarFunctionsTest.java — adds unit tests for RbXorFunction and RbAndNotFunction covering correctness, null semantics, disjoint sets, and edge cases.

FlinkCatalogTest.java — updates testViewsAndFunctions and testBitmapFunctionsRegistered to include the three new functions.

RbFunctionsCatalogITCase.java — adds end-to-end integration tests for all three functions through the catalog registration path using a real TableEnvironment.

Tests

Verified locally:

./mvnw spotless:apply — 0 violations
./mvnw test -pl fluss-flink/fluss-flink-common -Dtest="RbAggFunctionsTest,RbScalarFunctionsTest,FlinkCatalogTest" — BUILD SUCCESS
./mvnw verify -pl fluss-flink/fluss-flink-common -Dit.test=RbFunctionsCatalogITCase -DfailIfNoTests=false — BUILD SUCCESS

Note: ./mvnw verify -Dit.test=RbFunctionsCatalogITCase is blocked locally by a pre-existing TieringSourceEnumeratorTest classloading failure unrelated to this PR (upstream dependency TieringTableValidator missing from local build). All unit tests pass. The ITCase will be verified by CI.

API and Format

This change is purely additive and does not affect any storage formats or wire protocols. The functions operate on BYTES columns containing standard RoaringBitmap serialized data.

Documentation

User-facing documentation for all Phase 1 and Phase 2 functions will be added in a follow-up PR to website/docs/table-design/merge-engines/aggregation.md.

Hi @platinumhamburg @polyzos could you please help retriger the CI and Review this

[polyzos]

@Prajwal-banakar great work 👍
One thing that needs to be addressed, though rb_xor and rb_andnot look correct and consistent with the Phase 1 functions. But rb_xor_agg has a correctness bug.

The problem is merge(). RbXorAggFunction inherits it from AbstractRbAggFunction, which ORs the partials together. That's fine for rb_or_agg, but for XOR the partial accumulators have to be combined with XOR, same reason RbAndAggFunction overrides merge() with AND. Right now under two-phase / local-global aggregation the merge unions the partials instead of computing the symmetric difference.

The fix should be small overriding merge() to XOR the partials:

@Override
public void merge(RoaringBitmap acc, Iterable<RoaringBitmap> it) {
    for (RoaringBitmap other : it) {
        if (other != null) {
            acc.xor(other);
        }
    }
}

A couple of things on the tests while you're in there. testXorAggMerge currently asserts the OR result ({1,2,3} OR {3,4,5} → cardinality 5) — that's baking in the bug; it should expect the XOR {1,2,4,5} (cardinality 4).
It's worth adding a case where two partials each hold {1}, and the merged result cancels to an empty result, since that's the exact scenario that was broken. All the XOR tests only use two bitmaps, so nothing actually exercises the "odd number of inputs" contract — an accumulate test over three-plus bitmaps would cover it. And to catch this class of bug going forward, add an ITCase that runs streaming with mini-batch.size=1 + two-phase, so the merge path is real.

NIT: rb_xor has no empty-result test; the agg's Javadoc should mention it returns null when the result fully cancels, which differs from the scalar; and if there's no server-side XOR-agg counterpart, mirror the merge-engine=aggregation caveat from RbAndAggFunction.

[Prajwal-banakar]

Hi @polyzos, addressed all the review comments:

• Overrode merge() in RbXorAggFunction to use xor() instead of inheriting or() from AbstractRbAggFunction
• Fixed testXorAggMerge to assert the correct XOR result {1,2,4,5} (cardinality 4) instead of the OR result
• Added testXorAggMergeCancelsToEmpty — two partials each holding {1} cancel to empty, getValue returns null
• Added testXorAggThreeInputs — exercises the "odd number of inputs" contract: {1,2} XOR {2,3} XOR {3,4} = {1,4}
• Added testXorIdenticalSetsProducesEmpty for scalar rb_xor — identical inputs produce empty bitmap (not null)

why the CI is not running from yesterday🤔All 87 unit tests pass locally. PTAL!
