Context: In
RemoveRedundantAliases
, we excludeouterAttrs
referenced by subquery expressions when trying to identify aliases that can be removed. Failure to do so could lead to scenarios where certain part of the plans (for example: the join conditions in exists subquery) would end up with duplicated expression ID(s). A fix for this was merged here in the PR here - [SPARK-46640][SQL] Fix RemoveRedundantAlias by excluding subquery attributes #44645.The fix there only accounted for the
plan.expressions
to be a SubqueryExpression.We can have scenarios where the
SubqueryExpression
is wrapped in other expressions -- for example,Alias < CaseWhen < (SubqueryExpression)
.To correctly account for these, need to traverse the whole expression tree and collect outer references from these.
Consider plans of the form:
a#0 = a#0
