Paul Rogers updated DRILL-5235:
-------------------------------
Comment: was deleted
(was: The problem is with how we are measuring column sizes. Note above that we
have two columns. The "Record batch sizer" calculated the size for only one of
them. The code currently uses a horrible hack based on {{instanceof}} to
calculate the sizes of various types of vectors. It misfired in the case of a
{{RepeatedVarCharVector}}. I'll just byte the bullet and change the generated
vectors to give the info we need rather than hacking around as in the current
code.)
> Column or table alias doubles sort data size when reading a text file

> Key: DRILL-5235
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5235
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.9.0
> Reporter: Paul Rogers
> Priority: Minor
>
> Consider a simple query that reads data from a pipe-separated-value file and
> sorts it. The file has just one column. The query looks something like this:
> {code}
> SELECT columns[0] col1 FROM `dfs.data`.`input-file.tbl` ORDER BY col1
> {code}
> Looking at the query plan, we see that a project operator not just creates an
> alias {{col1}} for {{column\[0]}}, it also makes a *copy*.
> The particular input file is 20 GB in size and contains just one column. As a
> result of materializing the alias, data size to the sort doubles to 40 GB.
> This results in doubling query run time. If the sort must spill to disk, run
> times increases by a much larger factor.
> The fix is to treat the alias as an alias, not a materialized copy.
> {code}
> {
> "graph" : [ {
> "pop" : "fs-scan",
> "columns" : [ "`columns`[0]" ],
> }, {
> "pop" : "project",
> "@id" : 4,
> "exprs" : [ {
> "ref" : "`col1`",
> "expr" : "`columns`[0]"
> } ],
> }, {
> "pop" : "external-sort",
> "orderings" : [ {
> "order" : "ASC",
> "expr" : "`col1`",
> "nullDirection" : "UNSPECIFIED"
> } ],
> }, {
> "pop" : "selection-vector-remover",
> }, {
> "pop" : "project",
> }, {
> "pop" : "screen",
> } ]
> }
> {code}
