@graceguo-supercat I wanted to provide additional feedback to this SIP & to the community to understand our frustration as a user of Superset with the disconnect between charts and the filters. One of the major issues that we struggle with is we define our generic charts with nearly no filters and then apply the filters only from the dashboard perspective to allow all our charts to interactively be changed through the dashboard filter. When we're making the individual charts the problem is the filter box is not tied into that chart yet. This means the individual charts when crafting them are running queries that basically are along the lines of, "fetch all data". For us, that is not doable because it is billions upon billions and PB kind of storage. Once on the dashboard, the same issue happens when the filter box hasn't had values selected by the user yet but the charts try to run with the "defaults" on the filter box. These queries usually have to be manually killed on Presto's side and then we apply the filter box from the dashboard which allows us to narrow into exactly the range we want to see with the specific partitions. If there is an existing functionality to tackle this I'm all ears, the only thing we saw as a potential stop gap was custom viz plugin hacks. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
