If a column of a table is all null values, the follow SQL will throw an NPE:
select count(1) from test group by e grouping sets(e).The reason is that when transformUp a
GroupingSetsinResolveGroupingAnalyticsit uses anullBitmaskto set an attribute with null ability, the nullable attribute may be modified.This pr just set all attribute's null ability to
truein group by expressions to fix the problem.The pr #15484 in master branch has fixed this problem.
We also need to fix this problem in branch-2.1.
