In the above example the final optimized plan of (2) is the very same as with this PR. There are 2 aggregates in both subqueries so without dedup both (2) and this PR could cause regressions. I agree that (2) is self-contained and this PR is not, but IMO it looks like there are inter-rule dependencies currently in Spark (like `PushDownPredicates` relies on `ReuseSubquery`) that overall doesn't make (2) safer than this PR. I think this means that your (1) suggestion is probably the right approach and we need to move common non-correlated subqueries to a top node and reference to them in logical plan. I also think that (2) is a good improvement for correlated subqueries, but I would pursue (1) in this PR first and maybe (2) in a separate one. Does this sound acceptable? @cloud-fan, @maropu do you have any thoughts on this topic? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
