example

Normal case

select 8 as x, number as c, bit_shift_left(8, number) as bit_shift_left from numbers("number"="5")
--------------

+------+------+----------------+
| x | c | bit_shift_left |
+------+------+----------------+
| 8 | 0 | 8 |
| 8 | 1 | 16 |

Left shift result of 9223372036854775807 which is BIGINT_MAX by 1 bit will get -2.

WITH tbl AS (
SELECT 9223372036854775807 AS BIGINT_MAX
)
SELECT BIGINT_MAX, bit_shift_left(BIGINT_MAX, 1)
FROM tbl
--------------

+---------------------+-------------------------------+
| BIGINT_MAX | bit_shift_left(BIGINT_MAX, 1) |
+---------------------+-------------------------------+
| 9223372036854775807 | -2 |
