> [UMBRELLA] optimize the cuboids to be computed

> Key: KYLIN-1482
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KYLIN-1482
> Project: Kylin
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: v1.5
> Reporter: hongbin ma
> Assignee: hongbin ma
>
> As known to many the number of cuboids is exponential to the number of
> dimensions. Currently in the latest dev branch, Kylin adopt a well designed
> pruning scheme called "New Aggregation Group"
> (http://kylin.apache.org/blog/2016/02/18/new-aggregation-group/) that allows
> user to specify relationships between dimensions for cuboid pruning. The
> rule-based approach is simple and effective in many situations.
> However the rule-based approach also has its limitations: It will fail to
> capture potential prunings when the cube designer does not fully understand
> how the cube will be used, or the nature of the relationship between
> parent/child cuboid. In this case, we need to provide more flexible tools for
> cube designer to optimize which cuboids to be computed and which not to.
