Wrong result with partial_match_rowid_merge , NOT IN , NULLs

[Philip Stoev]

The following query:

SELECT *
FROM t1
WHERE (t1.a, t1.b) NOT IN (
 SELECT t2.a, t2.b
 FROM t2
);

returns no rows when executed with partial_match_rowid_merge even though the WHERE should evaluate to TRUE for all rows in t1 (as confirmed by PostgreSQL).

EXPLAIN:

id select_type table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra
1 PRIMARY t1 ALL NULL NULL NULL NULL 2 Using where
2 SUBQUERY t2 ALL NULL NULL NULL NULL 2

minimal switch: materialization=on,partial_match_rowid_merge=on,partial_match_table_scan=off
