------------------------------------

             Summary: SQL query with limit iterates the whole iterator when 
WholeStage code generation is enabled
                 Key: SPARK-25597
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-25597
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Hannu Kröger


When _SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 1_ is executed, the WholeStageCodegenExec 
generates code that iterates the source iterator completely instead of just 
first element (per partition). This is a major performance penalty over the 
expected functionality. This does not happen if _spark.sql.codegen.wholeStage_ 
is set to false in spark context conf.

In codegen mode {{LocalLimitExec}} overrides {{stopEarly}} method of 
{{BufferedRowIterator}} to stop consuming rows when enough rows are fetched. 
However, {{stopEarly}} is only called by code generated by {{InputAdapter}} and 
{{InputAdapter}} is not added to the plan for some reason.

One potential way to fix this would be to check {{stopEarly}} in {{hasNext}} 
method of {{BufferedRowIterator}}. Interesting fact is that the {{next}} does 
not call {{hasNext}}. Therefore {{next}} might return empty result even if 
there is data to be fetched by the {{processNext}} method. Or add a check to 
stopEarly in shouldStop method.

This commit might have broken the original functionality:
