Rationale for this change
In our project using datafusion, we have a specific optimizer rule that combines an aggregation into a different node.
We noticed that when creating the results using
RecordBatch::try_new(...)
using the schmea of the aggregation, it fails as it expects the columns to be non-nullable if the input column is non-nullable in case of grouping sets, although naturally all rows that do not belong to the "current" grouping set are null for that column.So, this PR will force the field created from a grouping set to be nullable.
