Hi Jialin,
perhaps one question about "wanted by users" means (as I didn’t see anything on
the list).
How do these users get in contact with you?

Hi,
As described in this issue, a new result set format is wanted by users. I'd
like to open a discussion here.
For simplicity, I refer this format "time, root.sg1.d1.s1, root.sg1.d2.s1"
to wide table, and "time, deviceId, s1" as narrow table.
This issue is not only about how to organize the results, but also the
query process.
There are some advantages about narrow table.
(1) For wide table, we need to open a SeriesReader for each series at the
same time, each SeriesReader holds some ChunkMetadatas. For narrow table, we
only need to open SeriesReaders for one device at one time, then return results
and open SeriesReaders for the next device, which occupies less memory compared
to the wide table.
(2) Avoid reading all series at once may also improve the query latency.
There is also a question:
(1) If we show result in the narrow table format for users, do we need to
highlight the concept of table and device?
(2) If the answer of the first question is yes, do we need to support sql:
"select time, deviceId, s1, s2, s3 from root.sg1 where deviceId=d1"? This may
involve a lot of work...
From my side, I prefer the answers of the two questions are all NO. Then we
do not need to change the sql grammar and only use a new query process to
organize the result set.
Best,
