子查询优化和执行

子查询是指在父查询的WHERE子句或HAVING子句中嵌套另一个SELECT语句的查询,本文主要介绍如何子查询。

基本概念

根据是否存在关联项,子查询可以分为非关联子查询和关联子查询。非关联子查询是指该子查询的执行不依赖外部查询的变量,这种子查询一般只需要计算一次;而关联子查询中存在引用自外层查询的变量,逻辑上,这种子查询需要每次带入相应的变量、计算多次。

/* 例子:非关联子查询 */
SELECT * FROM lineitem WHERE l_partkey IN (SELECT p_partkey FROM part);
/* 例子:关联子查询(l_suppkey 是关联项) */
SELECT * FROM lineitem WHERE l_partkey IN (SELECT ps_partkey FROM partsupp WHERE ps_suppkey = l_suppkey);

PolarDB-X子查询支持绝大多数的子查询写法,具体参见SQL使用限制

子查询执行

对于多数常见的子查询形式,PolarDB-X可以将其改写为高效的SemiJoin或类似的基于JOIN的计算方式。这样做的好处是显而易见的。当数据量较大时,无需真正带入不同参数循环迭代,大大降低了执行代价。这种查询改写技术称为子查询的去关联化(Unnesting)。

如下示例中2个子查询去关联化可以看到执行计划中使用JOIN代替了子查询。

> EXPLAIN SELECT p_partkey, (
      SELECT COUNT(ps_partkey) FROM partsupp WHERE ps_suppkey = p_partkey
      ) supplier_count FROM part;
Project(p_partkey="p_partkey", supplier_count="CASE(IS NULL($10), 0, $9)", cor=[$cor0])
  HashJoin(condition="p_partkey = ps_suppkey", type="left")
    Gather(concurrent=true)
      LogicalView(tables="part_[0-7]", shardCount=8, sql="SELECT * FROM `part` AS `part`")
    Project(count(ps_partkey)="count(ps_partkey)", ps_suppkey="ps_suppkey", count(ps_partkey)2="count(ps_partkey)")
      HashAgg(group="ps_suppkey", count(ps_partkey)="SUM(count(ps_partkey))")
        Gather(concurrent=true)
          LogicalView(tables="partsupp_[0-7]", shardCount=8, sql="SELECT `ps_suppkey`, COUNT(`ps_partkey`) AS `count(ps_partkey)` FROM `partsupp` AS `partsupp` GROUP BY `ps_suppkey`")
> EXPLAIN SELECT p_partkey, (
      SELECT COUNT(ps_partkey) FROM partsupp WHERE ps_suppkey = p_partkey
      ) supplier_count FROM part;
Project(p_partkey="p_partkey", supplier_count="CASE(IS NULL($10), 0, $9)", cor=[$cor0])
  HashJoin(condition="p_partkey = ps_suppkey", type="left")
    Gather(concurrent=true)
      LogicalView(tables="part_[0-7]", shardCount=8, sql="SELECT * FROM `part` AS `part`")
    Project(count(ps_partkey)="count(ps_partkey)", ps_suppkey="ps_suppkey", count(ps_partkey)2="count(ps_partkey)")
      HashAgg(group="ps_suppkey", count(ps_partkey)="SUM(count(ps_partkey))")
        Gather(concurrent=true)
          LogicalView(tables="partsupp_[0-7]", shardCount=8, sql="SELECT `ps_suppkey`, COUNT(`ps_partkey`) AS `count(ps_partkey)` FROM `partsupp` AS `partsupp` GROUP BY `ps_suppkey`")

某些场景下,PolarDB-X无法将子查询进行去关联化,这时会采用迭代执行的方式。如果外层查询数据量很大,迭代执行可能会非常慢。

如下示例由于OR l_partkey \< 50的存在,导致子查询无法被去关联化,因而采用了迭代执行:

> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM lineitem WHERE l_partkey IN (SELECT ps_partkey FROM partsupp WHERE ps_suppkey = l_suppkey) OR l_partkey IS NOT
Filter(condition="IS(in,[$1])[29612489] OR l_partkey < ?0")
  Gather(concurrent=true)
    LogicalView(tables="QIMU_0000_GROUP,QIMU_0001_GROUP.lineitem_[0-7]", shardCount=8, sql="SELECT * FROM `lineitem` AS `lineitem`")
>> individual correlate subquery : 29612489
Gather(concurrent=true)
  LogicalView(tables="QIMU_0000_GROUP,QIMU_0001_GROUP.partsupp_[0-7]", shardCount=8, sql="SELECT * FROM (SELECT `ps_partkey` FROM `partsupp` AS `partsupp` WHERE (`ps_suppkey` = `l_suppkey`)) AS `t0` WHERE (((`l_partkey` = `ps_partkey`) OR (`l_partkey` IS NULL)) OR (`ps_partkey` IS NULL))")

这种情形下,建议改写SQL去掉子查询的OR条件。
