Jungtaek Lim commented on STORM-1444:
-------------------------------------
It might need to have different approach.
Storm SQL is creating Trident topology and execute in local cluster or submit
to remote cluster. The usage of EXPLAIN is opposite, since users don't expect
topology will be executed or submitted if users want "EXPLAIN".
So while we can still support "EXPLAIN" statement (by not executing or
submitting topology when query has EXPLAIN), we can also add explain mode just
same level as standalone and trident.
Since we have multiple queries on sql file, what we select affects UX of Storm
SQL Runner.
I'd rather hear voices from dev@ list which is better, and go ahead.
