Introduce fallback logic in the C++ reader to set hasNull to true when the field is missing, similar to the Java implementation. The Java implementation includes the following logic:
In contrast, the C++ implementation directly uses the has_null value without any fallback logic:
We encountered an issue with the C++ implementation of the ORC reader when handling ORC files written with version 0.12. Specifically, files written in this version do not include the hasNull field in the column statistics metadata. While the Java implementation of the ORC reader handles this gracefully by defaulting hasNull to true when the field is absent, the C++ implementation does not handle this scenario correctly. This issue prevents predicates like IS NULL from being pushed down to the ORC reader!!! As a result, all rows in the file are filtered out, leading to incorrect query results :( I have tested this using Doris external pipeline: apache/doris#45104
apache/doris-thirdparty#259 No
