Zhenhua Wang created SPARK-20010: ------------------------------------ Summary: Sort information is lost after sort merge join Key: SPARK-20010 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20010 Project: Spark Issue Type: Bug Components: SQL Affects Versions: 2.2.0 Reporter: Zhenhua Wang
After sort merge join for inner join, now we only keep left key ordering. However, after inner join, right key has the same value and order as left key. So if we need another smj on right key, we will unnecessarily add a sort which causes additional cost. As a more complicated example, A join B on A.key = B.key join C on B.key = C.key join D on A.key = D.key. We will unnecessarily add a sort on B.key when join {AB} and C, and add a sort on A.key when join {ABC} and D. To fix this, we need to propagate all sorted information (equivalent expressions) from bottom up. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
