--------------------------------------
Summary: Internal API for collecting metrics/stats during
FileFormatWriter jobs
Key: SPARK-21669
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21669
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: SQL
Affects Versions: 2.3.0
Reporter: Adrian Ionescu
It would be useful to have some infrastructure in place for collecting custom
metrics or statistics on data on the fly, as it is being written to disk.
This was inspired by the work in SPARK-20703, which added simple metrics
collection for data write operations, such as {{numFiles}}, {{numPartitions}},
{{numRows}}. Those metrics are first collected on the executors and then sent
to the driver, which aggregates and posts them as updates to the {{SQLMetrics}}
subsystem.
The above can be generalized and turned into a pluggable interface, which in
the future could be used for other purposes: e.g. automatic maintenance of
cost-based optimizer (CBO) statistics during "INSERT INTO <table> SELECT ..."
operations, such that users won't need to explicitly call "ANALYZE TABLE
<table> COMPUTE STATISTICS" afterwards anymore, thus avoiding an extra
full-table scan.
