>
> DRILL-4279 changes the planner side and the RecordReader in the execution
> side when they handles skipAll query. However, it seems there are other
> places in the codebase that do not handle skipAll query efficiently. In
> particular, in GroupScan or ScanBatchCreator, we will replace a NULL or empty
> column list with star column. This essentially will force the execution side
> (RecordReader) to fetch all the columns for data source. Such behavior will
> lead to big performance overhead for the SCAN operator.
> To improve Drill's performance, we should change those places as well, as a
> follow-up work after DRILL-4279.
> One simple example of this problem is:
> {code}
> SELECT DISTINCT substring(dir1, 5) from dfs.`/Path/To/ParquetTable`;
> {code}
> The query does not require any regular column from the parquet file. However,
> ParquetRowGroupScan and ParquetScanBatchCreator will put star column as the
> column list. In case table has dozens or hundreds of columns, this will make
> SCAN operator much more expensive than necessary.
