> Improve performance for skipAll query against Text/JSON/Parquet table
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: DRILL-4279
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4279
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Query Planning & Optimization
> Reporter: Jinfeng Ni

>
> When query does not specify any specific column to be returned SCAN, for
> instance,
> {code}
> Q1: select count(*) from T1;
> Q2: select 1 + 100 from T1;
> Q3: select 1.0 + random() from T1;
> {code}
> Drill's planner would use a ColumnList with * column, plus a SKIP_ALL mode.
> However, the MODE is not serialized / deserialized. This leads to two
> problems.
> 1). The EXPLAIN plan is confusing, since there is no way to different from a
> "SELECT * " query from this SKIP_ALL mode.
> For instance,
> {code}
> explain plan for select count(*) from dfs.`/Users/jni/work/data/yelp/t1`;
> 00-03 Project($f0=[0])
> 00-04 Scan(groupscan=[EasyGroupScan
> [selectionRoot=file:/Users/jni/work/data/yelp/t1, numFiles=2, columns=[`*`],
> files= ...
> {code}
> 2) If the query is to be executed distributed / parallel, the missing
> serialization of mode would means some Fragment is fetching all the columns,
> while some Fragment is skipping all the columns. That will cause execution
> error.
> For instance, by changing slice_target to enforce the query to be executed in
> multiple fragments, it will hit execution error.
> {code}
> select count(*) from dfs.`/Users/jni/work/data/yelp/t1`;
> org.apache.drill.common.exceptions.UserRemoteException: DATA_READ ERROR:
> Error parsing JSON - You tried to start when you are using a ValueWriter of
> type NullableBitWriterImpl.
> {code}
> Directory "t1" just contains two yelp JSON files.
> Ideally, I think when no columns is required from SCAN, the explain plan
> should show an empty of column list. The MODE of SKIP_ALL together with star
> * column seems to be confusing and error prone.
