Resolution: Won't Fix
Closing as won't fix since this has not come up as a performance problem.
> Improve Performance of Unbounded Following Window Frame Processing
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-8816
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8816
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Herman van Hovell
> Priority: Minor
>
> The performance of Unbounded Following frames in both the current and the
> proposed (SPARK-8638) implementation of Window Functions is quite bad:
> O(N*(N-1)/2).
> A solution to this is to process such frames in reverse. This would
> effectively reduce the complexity to O(N). The problem with this approach
> that it assumes that AggregateExpression are communitative. Most are, but
> some are actually order based: FIRST/LAST. There are two solution for this:
> * Only allow communitative aggregates to processed in reverse order. In
> practice this would mean, that a white list containing all allowed aggregates
> is used, e.g. Sum, Average, Min, Max, ...
> * Add functionality to WindowFunction or even better AggregateExpression,
> which would allow us to get the reverse operator from the expression, and use
> this reverse for processing, for example:
> {noformat}
> case class Max(child: Expression) extends AggregateExpression with Ordered {
> ...
>
> def reverse: Min = Min(child)
> }
> {noformat}
> The impact and extensibility of the first option are lower than of the
> second.
> We might also want to asses how often such frames are used. It might not be a
> problem at all.
