Julian Hyde closed CALCITE-299.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
I think we can close this. It's an idea for achieving performance on queries
with many joins. The problem seems to be solved adequately by other means. We
can always come back and consider this approach in future.

> Currently Optiq's join optimization is exhaustive. The search space increases
> combinatorially, so for a query with more than about 8 joins, this is
> impractical. I propose a "divide and conquer" approach that tames the search
> space but doesn't cut out the important parts of the search space.
> First, there is a planning phase that gathers together all joins into a
> single mega relational expression, MultiJoinRel.
> Then an algorithm builds a join graph, and finds a sub-graph (tree) that
> minimizes some cost function. Then divide that sub-graph into clusters; the
> nodes in a cluster are tightly connected, and the links between clusters are
> relatively loosely connected.
> The output of this algorithm is the graph, partitioned into moderately sized
> groups of nodes (say 5 - 7 maximum). Typically, in a multi-star query, each
> group of nodes would have a "fact table" at its center, surrounded by
> "dimension tables" connected by many-to-one relationships. (Fact table and
> dimension table are relative terms.)
> We put in place fire walls (maybe a special kind of RelNode) to prevent join
> transformation rules from working across clusters. Then we invoke the
> conventional planning process.
