Xiaoju Wu created SPARK-27290: --------------------------------- Summary: remove unneed sort under Aggregate Key: SPARK-27290 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27290 Project: Spark Issue Type: Improvement Components: SQL Affects Versions: 2.4.0 Reporter: Xiaoju Wu
I saw some tickets to remove unneeded sort in plan while I think there's another case in which sort is redundant: Sort just under an non-orderPreserving node is redundant, for example: select count(*) from (select a1 from A order by a2); +- Aggregate +- Sort +- FileScan parquet But one of the existing test cases is conflict with this example: test("sort should not be removed when there is a node which doesn't guarantee any order") { val orderedPlan = testRelation.select('a, 'b).orderBy('a.asc) val groupedAndResorted = orderedPlan.groupBy('a)(sum('a)).orderBy('a.asc) val optimized = Optimize.execute(groupedAndResorted.analyze) val correctAnswer = groupedAndResorted.analyze comparePlans(optimized, correctAnswer) } Why is it designed like this? In my opinion, since Aggregate won't pass up the ordering, the below Sort is useless. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
