Andy Grove updated ARROW-9746:
------------------------------
Component/s: Rust - DataFusion
Rust
> [Rust][DataFusion] Add FORMAT to explain plan and an easy to visualize format
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-9746
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9746
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Rust, Rust - DataFusion
> Reporter: Andrew Lamb
> Priority: Major
>
> As suggested by [~jorgecarleitao] on
> https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/7959#pullrequestreview-467291192 --
> > #### Other formats?
> > One thing I dislike about spark is that EXPLAIN is in a not-so-nice format
> > to parse programmatically. One idea is to allow `explain` to return the
> > result in json. This is e.g. useful to construct a visual graph
> > representation of the plan. One idea would be to support another string
> > parameter, `format`, and make it default to `string` (not necessarily in
> > this PR).
> The typical thing I have used in the past to great effect is graphviz:
> https://graphviz.org/ and `dot` -- so the idea is that we would get a command
> like:
> {code}
> EXPLAIN FORMAT GRAPHVIZ SELECT * FROM FOO
> {code}
> which would provide the plan in graphviz format (in addition to text)
