The query
```
SELECT 1 FROM (SELECT COUNT(*) WHERE FALSE) t1
```
should return a single row of output because the subquery is an aggregate without a group-by and thus should return a single row. However, Spark incorrectly returns zero rows.
This is caused by SPARK-16208 / #13906, a patch which added an optimizer rule to propagate EmptyRelation through operators. The logic for handling aggregates is wrong: it checks whether aggregate expressions are non-empty for deciding whether the output should be empty, whereas it should be checking grouping expressions instead:
An aggregate with non-empty grouping expression will return one output row per group. If the input to the grouped aggregate is empty then all groups will be empty and thus the output will be empty. It doesn't matter whether the aggregation output columns include aggregate expressions since that won't affect the number of output rows.
If the grouping expressions are empty, however, then the aggregate will always produce a single output row and thus we cannot propagate the EmptyRelation.
The current implementation is incorrect and also misses an optimization opportunity by not propagating EmptyRelation in the case where a grouped aggregate has aggregate expressions (in other words, `SELECT COUNT(*) from emptyRelation GROUP BY x` would _not_ be optimized to `EmptyRelation` in the old code, even though it safely could be).
This patch resolves this issue by modifying `PropagateEmptyRelation` to consider only the presence/absence of grouping expressions, not the aggregate functions themselves, when deciding whether to propagate EmptyRelation.
## How was this patch tested?
- Added end-to-end regression tests in `SQLQueryTest`'s `group-by.sql` file.
- Updated unit tests in `PropagateEmptyRelationSuite`.
