Ioana Delaney commented on SPARK-17626:
---------------------------------------
Selectivity hint is a very useful feature, widely used in industry to fine tune
the Optimizer cost model. I expect this feature to be needed once the cost
model optimizer is in place. Given our star schema work we took the liberty to
implement it since it helped our query investigation and tuning. The proposed
selectivity design, which will be posted soon, aligns to the existing
statistics design and should be easily integrated into the ongoing cost model
implementation.

> *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%*.

> 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.
