Andy Seaborne commented on JENA-1926:
-------------------------------------
[~jgonggrijp] - could you provide background for the comment:
bq. I need to be 100% clear on whether these queries are equivalent or not in a
set-theoretic sense.
Apache Jena is an open source project. There is no commercial backer or
provider of resource that subsides the development and maintenance of the
system.
An an open source project, we welcome contributions.
The source is available for inspection and investigation.
The optimizer is extensible and configurable if you wish to plug-in your own
algorithms.

> Key: JENA-1926
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-1926
> Project: Apache Jena
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ARQ
> Affects Versions: Jena 3.15.0
> Reporter: Julian Gonggrijp
> Priority: Minor
>
> The following query takes about 6.5 seconds with my dataset, which
> unfortunately I cannot share. Note that {{?source}} is bound to a single IRI
> in all queries below; I'm leaving that out for brevity.
> {code:java}
> PREFIX oa: <http://www.w3.org/ns/oa#>
> PREFIX dcterms: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/>
> CONSTRUCT {
> ?annotation ?a ?b.
> ?body ?c ?d.
> ?target ?e ?f.
> ?selector ?g ?h.
> } WHERE {
> ?annotation oa:hasBody ?body;
> oa:hasTarget ?target;
> dcterms:creator ?user;
> ?a ?b.
> ?target oa:hasSource ?source;
> oa:hasSelector ?selector;
> ?e ?f.
> ?selector ?g ?h.
> OPTIONAL { ?body ?c ?d }.
> }
> {code}
> Compare this to the following query, which I believe is exactly equivalent
> but takes only 2 seconds:
> {code:java}
> CONSTRUCT {
> ?annotation ?a ?b.
> ?body ?c ?d.
> ?target ?e ?f.
> ?selector ?g ?h.
> } WHERE {
> ?annotation oa:hasBody ?body.
> OPTIONAL { ?body ?c ?d }.
> ?annotation oa:hasTarget ?target;
> dcterms:creator ?user;
> ?a ?b.
> ?target oa:hasSource ?source;
> oa:hasSelector ?selector;
> ?e ?f.
> ?selector ?g ?h.
> }
> {code}
> For comparison, leaving out the optional {{?body}} entirely, I get a query
> that executes in 1.7 seconds:
> {code:java}
> CONSTRUCT {
> ?annotation ?a ?b.
> ?target ?e ?f.
> ?selector ?g ?h.
> } WHERE {
> ?annotation oa:hasTarget ?target;
> dcterms:creator ?user;
> ?a ?b.
> ?target oa:hasSource ?source;
> oa:hasSelector ?selector;
> ?e ?f.
> ?selector ?g ?h.
> }
> {code}
> I'm a novice to SPARQL, but coming from SQL, I wouldn't expect query
> execution speed to depend so much on the order in which the criteria are
> given.
