Hi Sreeparna, As suggested in the earlier e-mail, we would not expect to see different performance in UNION ALL than in a simple scan. Clearly you've found some kind of issue. The next step is to investigate that issue, which is a bit hard to do over e-mail.
Please file a JIRA ticket to describe the issue and provide a reproducible test case including query and data. If your data is sensitive, please create a dummy data set, or use the provided TPC-H data set to recreate the issue. We can then take a look to see what might be happening.

Please consider below scenarios. The first 2 scenarios are giving expected results in terms of performance. But we are not getting expected performance for 3rd scenario which is UNION ALL with 2 different types of datasets. Scenario 1- Parquet UNION ALL Parquet Individual execution time of 1st query - 5 secsIndividual execution time of 2nd query - 5 secsUNION ALL of both queries execution time - 10 secs Scenario 2 - DB query UNION ALL DB queryIndividual execution time of 1st query - 5 secsIndividual execution time of 2nd query - 5 secsUNION ALL of both queries execution time - 10 secs Scenario 3 - Parquet UNION ALL DB query Individual execution time of 1st query - 5 secsIndividual execution time of 2nd query - 1 secUNION ALL execution time - 20 secsIdeally the execution time should not be more than 6 secs. May I request you to check whether the UNION ALL performance of 3rd scenario is expected with different dataset types. Please suggest if there is any specific way to bring down the execution time of 3rd scenario. Thanks in advance.

Is there any relation between number of row groups and performance ? In the below query the number of files is 13 and numRowGroups is 69. Is the UNION ALL takes more time if the number of rowgroup is high like that. Please note that the individual Parquet query takes 6 secs. But UNION ALL takes 20 secs. Details are given in trail mail.

(Be sure you are not using a plain UNION as that needs to do more work to remove duplicates.) Since you are seeing unexpected behavior, we may have some kind of issue to investigate and perhaps fix. Always hard to do over e-mail, but let's see what we can do. The first question is to understand the full query: are you doing more than a simple scan of two files and a UNION ALL? Are there sorts or joins involved? The best place to start to investigate performance issues is the query profile, which it looks like you are doing. What is the time for the scans if you run each of the two scans separately? You said that they take 8 and 1 seconds. Is that for the whole query or just the scan operators? Then, when you run the UNION ALL, again looking at the scan operators, is there any difference in run times? If the scans take longer, that is one thing to investigate. If the scans take the same amount of time, what other operator(s) are taking the rest of the time? Your note suggests that it is the scan taking the time. But, there should be two scan operators: one for each file. How is the time divided between them? How large are the data files? Using what storage system? How many Drillbits? How much memory?

There is one UNION ALL statement which combines 2 queries. The individual queries are taking 8 secs and 1 sec respectively. But UNION ALL takes 30 secs. PARQUET_SCAN_ROW_GROUP takes the maximum time. Apache drill version is 1.17. Please help to suggest how to improve this UNION ALL performance. We are using parquet file. Thanks, Sreeparna Bhabani
