Thomas Rebele created CALCITE-4264: -------------------------------------- Summary: The query planner should take CPU cost into account Key: CALCITE-4264 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-4264 Project: Calcite Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Thomas Rebele
Calcite only takes the row count into account when optimizing the queries. See [the relevant lines in VolcanoCost|https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/52a57078ba081b24b9d086ed363c715485d1a519/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/plan/volcano/VolcanoCost.java#L98-L116]. However, two plans might have the same row count, but differ greatly in CPU cost. This happens for example when the limit sort rule ([CALCITE-3920|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-3920]) is activated. The row cost is the same, the EnumerableLimitSort only sorts the input partially, so has a lower CPU cost. Low impact proposal: Compare first the row cost, and only if the row cost is equal, compare by CPU cost. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
