Xiao Li commented on SPARK-17626:
---------------------------------
Selectivity Hint is another one. The current JIRA `Join reordering using star
schema detection` does not depend on it.
In the slides, we document the needs of selectivity hints for resolving the
regression of these four queries.
{noformat}
Queries 3, 10, 68, and 84
Selectivity on the dimension tables was not taken into account
The regressions were fixed by specifying the selectivity hints on the dimension
predicates reorder most selective joins first

> *TPC-DS performance improvements using star-schema heuristics*
> \\
> \\
> TPC-DS consists of multiple snowflake schema, which are multiple star schema
> with dimensions linking to dimensions. A star schema consists of a fact table
> referencing a number of dimension tables. Fact table holds the main data
> about a business. Dimension table, a usually smaller table, describes data
> reflecting the dimension/attribute of a business.
> \\
> \\
> As part of the benchmark performance investigation, we observed a pattern of
> sub-optimal execution plans of large fact tables joins. Manual rewrite of
> some of the queries into selective fact-dimensions joins resulted in
> significant performance improvement. This prompted us to develop a simple
> join reordering algorithm based on star schema detection. The performance
> testing using *1TB TPC-DS workload* shows an overall improvement of *19%*.

> End to end improved (seconds) -3,603
> Number of queries improved (>10%) 45

> Cluster: 20-node cluster with each node having:
> * 10 2TB hard disks in a JBOD configuration, 2 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680
> v2 @ 2.80GHz processors, 128 GB RAM, 10Gigabit Ethernet.
> * Total memory for the cluster: 2.5TB
> * Total storage: 400TB
> * Total CPU cores: 480
> Hadoop stack: IBM Open Platform with Apache Hadoop v4.2. Apache Spark 2.0 GA
> Database info:
> * Schema: TPCDS
> * Scale factor: 1TB total space
> * Storage format: Parquet with Snappy compression
> Our investigation and results are included in the attached document.
> There are two parts to this improvement:
> # Join reordering using star schema detection
> # New selectivity hint to specify the selectivity of the predicates over base
> tables. Selectivity hint is optional and it was not used in the above TPC-DS
> tests.
