+Constructing ``ExecNode`` using Options
+=======================================
+
+Using the execution plan we can construct varioud execution queries.
+To construct such queries, we have provided a set of containers or
+referred as :class:`ExecNode` s. These nodes provide the ability to
+construct operations like filtering, projection, join, etc.
+
+This is the list of :class:`ExecutionNode` s exposed;
+
+1. :class:`SourceNode`
+2. :class:`FilterNode`
+3. :class:`ProjectNode`
+4. :class:`ScalarAggregateNode`
+5. :class:`SinkNode`
+6. :class:`ConsumingSinkNode`
+7. :struct:`OrderBySinkNode`
+8. SelectK-SinkNode
+9. Scan-Node
+10. :class:`HashJoinNode`
+11. Write-Node
+12. :class:`UnionNode`
+
+There are a set of :class:`ExecNode` s designed to provide various operations
required
+in designing a streaming execution plan.
+
+``SourceNode``
+--------------
+
+:struct:`arrow::compute::SourceNode` can be considered as an entry point to
create a streaming execution plan.
+A source node can be constructed as follows.
+
+:class:`arrow::compute::SoureNodeOptions` are used to create the
:struct:`arrow::compute::SourceNode`.
+The :class:`Schema` of the data passing through and a function to generate
data
+`std::function<arrow::Future<arrow::util::optional<arrow::compute::ExecBatch>>()>`
+are required to create this option::
+
+ // data generator
+ arrow::AsyncGenerator<arrow::util::optional<cp::ExecBatch>> gen() { ... }
+
+ // data schema
+ auto schema = arrow::schema({...})
+
+ // source node options
+ auto source_node_options = arrow::compute::SourceNodeOptions{schema, gen};
+
+ // create a source node
+ ARROW_ASSIGN_OR_RAISE(arrow::compute::ExecNode * source,
+ arrow::compute::MakeExecNode("source", plan.get(),
{},
+ source_node_options));
+
+``FilterNode``
+--------------
+
+:class:`FilterNode`, as the name suggests, provide a container to define a
data filtering criteria.
+Filter can be written using :class:`arrow::compute::Expression`. For instance
if the row values
+of a particular column needs to be filtered by a boundary value, ex: all
values of column b
+greater than 3, can be written using
:class:`arrow::compute::FilterNodeOptions` as follows::
+
+ // a > 3
+ arrow::compute::Expression filter_opt = arrow::compute::greater(
+ arrow::compute::field_ref("a"),
+
arrow::compute::literal(3));
+
+Using this option, the filter node can be constructed as follows::
+
+ // creating filter node
+ arrow::compute::ExecNode* filter;
+ ARROW_ASSIGN_OR_RAISE(filter, arrow::compute::MakeExecNode("filter",
+ // plan
+ plan.get(),
+ // previous input
+ {scan},
+ //filter node options
+ arrow::compute::FilterNodeOptions{filter_opt}));
+
+``ProjectNode``
+---------------
+
+:class:`ProjectNode` executes expressions on input batches and produces new
batches.
+Each expression will be evaluated against each batch which is pushed to this
+node to produce a corresponding output column. This is exposed via
+:class:`arrow::compute::ProjectNodeOptions` component which requires,
+a :class:`arrow::compute::Expression`, names of the project columns (names are
not provided,
+the string representations of exprs will be used) and a boolean flag to
determine
+synchronous/asynchronous nature (by default asynchronous option is set to
`true`).
+
+Sample Expression for projection::
+
+ // a * 2 (multiply values in a column by 2)
+ arrow::compute::Expression a_times_2 = arrow::compute::call("multiply",
+
{arrow::compute::field_ref("a"), arrow::compute::literal(2)});
+
+
+Creating a project node::
+
+ arrow::compute::ExecNode *project;
+ ARROW_ASSIGN_OR_RAISE(project,
+ arrow::compute::MakeExecNode("project",
+ // plan
+ plan.get(),
+ // previous node
+ {scan},
+ // project node options
+ arrow::compute::ProjectNodeOptions{{a_times_2}}));
+
+``ScalarAggregateNode``
+-----------------------
+
+:class:`ScalarAggregateNode` is an :class:`ExecNode` which provides various
+aggregation options. The :class:`arrow::compute::AggregateNodeOptions`
provides the
+container to define the aggregation criterion. These options can be
+selected from `arrow::compute` options.
