Lars Hofhansl commented on PHOENIX-4845: ---------------------------------------- I like this. Can also be use when scanning along an index. If Phoenix can correctly optimize the ORDER BY away then we can force a start key as start point for the next page. > Support using Row Value Constructors in OFFSET clause to support paging in > tables where the sort order of PK columns varies > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PHOENIX-4845 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-4845 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Thomas D'Silva > Priority: Major > Labels: DESC, SFDC > > RVCs along with the LIMIT clause are useful for efficiently paging through > rows (see [http://phoenix.apache.org/paged.html]). > However if the sorder order of the PK columns in a table varies we cannot > use RVCs. > For eg. if the PK of a table is (A DESC, B) we cannot use the following > query to page through the data > {code:java} > SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE (A, B) > (?, ?) ORDER BY A DESC, B LIMIT 20 > {code} > Since the rows are sorted by A desc and then by B descending we need change > the comparison order > {code:java} > SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE (A, B) < (?, ?) ORDER BY A DESC, B LIMIT 20 > {code} > If we supported using RVCs in the offset clause we could use the offset to > set the start row of the scan. Clients would not have to have logic to > determine the comparison operator. > {code:java} > SELECT * FROM TABLE ORDER BY A DESC, B LIMIT 20 OFFSET (?,?) > {code} > We would only allow using the offset if the rows are ordered by the sort > order of the PK columns. > > FYI [~jfernando_sfdc] -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
