Rationale for this change
When merging two aggregate states we were failing to use the correct
no_nulls
field. This field tells us whether we should returnnull
ifskip_nulls=False
(ifno_nulls
is false then we return null).Since we were reading the wrong field we would sometimes emit null even when a column didn't actually have any nulls.
What changes are included in this PR?
Fixed the bug.
Are these changes tested?
Yes, I added a new unit test that reproduced this failure quite reliably.
Are there any user-facing changes?
No.
