Description

Feature Request

Describe the feature you'd like:

Currently, TiDB Don't have not null ScalarFunction, the implementation of not null is not (is null).

Separate implementation of not null must be better than the composed of two 2 ScalarFunction.

Next step: implement not null in TiKV coprocessor and push down.

Research direction
Study how existing scalar functions like 'is null' are implemented in TiDB's expression framework. Implement a new 'not null' scalar function by following similar patterns. Then enable pushdown to TiKV coprocessor.
