/** Processor is an element (low level building block) of a query execution pipeline.
  * It has zero or more input ports and zero or more output ports.
  *
  * Blocks of data are transferred over ports.
  * Each port has fixed structure: names and types of columns and values of constants.
  *
  * Processors may pull data from input ports, do some processing and push data to output ports.
  * Processor may indicate that it requires input data to proceed and indicate that it needs data from some ports.
  *
  * Synchronous work must only use CPU - don't do any sleep, IO wait, network wait.
  *
  * Processor may want to do work asynchronously (example: fetch data from remote server)
  *  - in this case it will initiate background job and allow to subscribe to it.
  *
  * Processor may throw an exception to indicate some runtime error.
  *
  * Different ports may have different structure. For example, ports may correspond to different resultsets
  *  or semantically different parts of result.
  *
  * Processor may modify its ports (create another processors and connect to them) on the fly.
  * Example: first execute the subquery; on basis of subquery result
  *  determine how to execute the rest of query and build the corresponding pipeline.
  *
  * Processor may simply wait for another processor to execute without transferring any data from it.
  * For this purpose it should connect its input port to another processor, and indicate need of data.
  *
  * Examples:
  *
  * Source. Has no input ports and single output port. Generates data itself and pushes it to its output port.
  *
  * Sink. Has single input port and no output ports. Consumes data that was passed to its input port.
  *
  * Empty source. Immediately says that data on its output port is finished.
  *
  * Null sink. Consumes data and does nothing.
  *
  * Simple transformation. Has single input and single output port. Pulls data, transforms it and pushes to output port.
  * Example: expression calculator.
  * TODO Better to make each function a separate processor. It's better for pipeline analysis. Also keep in mind 'sleep' and 'rand' functions.
  *
  * Squashing or filtering transformation. Pulls data, possibly accumulates it, and sometimes pushes it to output port.
  * Examples: DISTINCT, WHERE, squashing of blocks for INSERT SELECT.
  *
  * Accumulating transformation. Pulls and accumulates all data from input until it it exhausted, then pushes data to output port.
  * Examples: ORDER BY, GROUP BY.
  *
  * Limiting transformation. Pulls data from input and passes to output.
  * When there was enough data, says that it doesn't need data on its input and that data on its output port is finished.
  *
  * Resize. Has arbitrary number of inputs and arbitrary number of outputs.
  * Pulls data from whatever ready input and pushes it to randomly chosen free output.
  * Examples:
  * Union - merge data from number of inputs to one output in arbitrary order.
  * Split - read data from one input and pass it to arbitrary output.
  *
  * Concat. Has many inputs and only one output. Pulls all data from first input until it is exhausted,
  *  then all data from second input, etc. and pushes all data to output.
  *
  * Ordered merge. Has many inputs but only one output. Pulls data from selected input in specific order, merges and pushes it to output.
  *
  * Fork. Has one input and many outputs. Pulls data from input and copies it to all outputs.
  * Used to process multiple queries with common source of data.
  *
  * Select. Has one or multiple inputs and one output.
  * Read blocks from inputs and check that blocks on inputs are "parallel": correspond to each other in number of rows.
  * Construct a new block by selecting some subset (or all) of columns from inputs.
  * Example: collect columns - function arguments before function execution.
  *
  *
  * TODO Processors may carry algebraic properties about transformations they do.
  * For example, that processor doesn't change number of rows; doesn't change order of rows, doesn't change the set of rows, etc.
  *
  * TODO Ports may carry algebraic properties about streams of data.
  * For example, that data comes ordered by specific key; or grouped by specific key; or have unique values of specific key.
  * And also simple properties, including lower and upper bound on number of rows.
  *
  * TODO Processor should have declarative representation, that is able to be serialized and parsed.
  * Example: read_from_merge_tree(database, table, Columns(a, b, c), Piece(0, 10), Parts(Part('name', MarkRanges(MarkRange(0, 100), ...)), ...))
  * It's reasonable to have an intermediate language for declaration of pipelines.
  *
  * TODO Processor with all its parameters should represent "pure" function on streams of data from its input ports.
  * It's in question, what kind of "pure" function do we mean.
  * For example, data streams are considered equal up to order unless ordering properties are stated explicitly.
  * Another example: we should support the notion of "arbitrary N-th of M substream" of full stream of data.
