Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-2974:
--------------------------------------
Can you give some indication how much this problem is hurting us in typical
query planning? For instance, how many times is {{simplifyCast}} called when
planning the average query?
I was not enthusiastic when people proposed to use RexExecutor as part of
RexSimplify. In my view, RexSimplify has to be fast enough to be executed many
thousands of times during planning, and because RexExecutor uses janino it's
capable of tens but not hundreds or thousands.
> Timestamp conversion performance can be improved

> Key: CALCITE-2974
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2974
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.19.0
> Reporter: Valeriy Trofimov
> Priority: Major
> Labels: easyfix, performance
> Fix For: next

> Original Estimate: 24h
> Remaining Estimate: 24h

> RexSimplify.simplifyCast() is slow when converting a string to SQL Timestamp
> value. The slowness is caused by this line:
> {code:java}
> executor.reduce(rexBuilder, ImmutableList.of(e), reducedValues);
> {code}
> Debugging this code line with my team showed that for timestamp conversion it
> loads a pre-compiled conversion code, which makes it slow. My team proposes
> to replace this line with the following code that greately improves
> performance:
> {code:java}
> if (typeName == SqlTypeName.CHAR && e.getType().getSqlTypeName() ==
> SqlTypeName.TIMESTAMP_WITH_LOCAL_TIME_ZONE) {
> if (literal.getValue() instanceof NlsString) {
> String timestampStr = ((NlsString) literal.getValue()).getValue();
> Long timestampLong =
> SqlFunctions.toTimestampWithLocalTimeZone(timestampStr);
> reducedValues.add(rexBuilder.makeLiteral(timestampLong, e.getType(),
> true));
> }
> }
> if (reducedValues.isEmpty()) {
> executor.reduce(rexBuilder, ImmutableList.of(e), reducedValues);
> }
> {code}
> Let us know if we can submit a pull request with this code change or if we've
> missed anything. Do you know the reason behind using a pre-compiled code for
> timestamp conversion?
