…numeric aggregators with the String implementations (apache#16230) This PR fixes the first and last vector aggregators and improves their readability. Following changes are introduced The folding is broken in the vectorized versions. We consider time before checking the folded object. If the numerical aggregator gets passed any other object type for some other reason (like String), then the aggregator considers it to be folded, even though it shouldn’t be. We should convert these objects to the desired type, and aggregate them properly. The aggregators must properly use generics. This would minimize the ClassCastException issues that can happen with mixed segment types. We are unifying the string first/last aggregators with numeric versions as well. The aggregators must aggregate null values (https://github.com/apache/druid/blob/master/processing/src/main/java/org/apache/druid/query/aggregation/first/StringFirstLastUtils.java#L55-L56 ). The aggregator should only ignore pairs with time == null, and not value == null Time nullity is ignored when trying to vectorize the data. String versions initialized with DateTimes.MIN that is equal to Long.MIN / 2. This can cause incorrect results in case the user enters a custom time column. NOTE: This is still present because it would require a larger refactor in all of the versions. There is a difference in what users might expect from the results because the code flow is changed (for example, the direction of the for loops, etc), however, this will only change the results, and not the contract set by first/last aggregators, which is that if multiple values have the same timestamp, then any of them can get picked. If the column is non-existent, the users might expect a change in the timestamp from DateTime.MAX to Long.MAX, because the code incorrectly used DateTime.MAX to initialize the aggregator, however, in case of a custom timestamp column, this might not be the case. The SQL query might be prohibited from using any Long since it requires a cast to the timestamp function that can fail, but AFAICT native queries don't have such limitations.
