    Thanks a lot @marmbrus for your suggestion, as you mentioned currently we 
could get the physical plan only when query is started, which is counter to the 
goal of explain.
    
    But I think it is quite useful for user to understanding the translated 
plan. One thing we could do is to change the api to be different from 
`explain`, so that we will not have this semantic break. Also a better solution 
is to find out a good solution to get the plan without really executing the 
query.
