DRILL-1328: Support table statistics - Part 2
Add support for avg row-width and major type statistics.
Parallelize the ANALYZE implementation and stats UDF implementation to improve stats collection performance.
Update/fix rowcount, selectivity and ndv computations to improve plan costing.
Add options for configuring collection/usage of statistics.
Add new APIs and implementation for stats writer (as a precursor to Drill Metastore APIs).
Fix several stats/costing related issues identified while running TPC-H nad TPC-DS queries.
Add support for CPU sampling and nested scalar columns.
Add more testcases for collection and usage of statistics and fix remaining unit/functional test failures.
Thanks to Venki Korukanti (@vkorukanti) for the description below (modified to account for new changes). He graciously agreed to rebase the patch to latest master, fixed few issues and added few tests.
FUNCS: Statistics functions as UDFs:
Separate
Currently using FieldReader to ensure consistent output type so that Unpivot doesn't get confused. All stats columns should be Nullable, so that stats functions can return NULL when N/A.
* custom versions of "count" that always return BigInt
* HyperLogLog based NDV that returns BigInt that works only on VarChars
* HyperLogLog with binary output that only works on VarChars
OPS: Updated protobufs for new ops
OPS: Implemented StatisticsMerge
OPS: Implemented StatisticsUnpivot
ANALYZE: AnalyzeTable functionality
* JavaCC syntax more-or-less copied from LucidDB.
* (Basic) AnalyzePrule: DrillAnalyzeRel -> UnpivotPrel StatsMergePrel FilterPrel(for sampling) StatsAggPrel ScanPrel
ANALYZE: Add getMetadataTable() to AbstractSchema
USAGE: Change field access in QueryWrapper
USAGE: Add getDrillTable() to DrillScanRelBase and ScanPrel
* since ScanPrel does not inherit from DrillScanRelBase, this requires adding a DrillTable to the constructor
* This is done so that a custom ReflectiveRelMetadataProvider can access the DrillTable associated with Logical/Physical scans.
USAGE: Attach DrillStatsTable to DrillTable.
* DrillStatsTable represents the data scanned from a corresponding ".stats.drill" table
* In order to avoid doing query execution right after the ".stats.drill" table is found, metadata is not actually collected until the MaterializationVisitor is used.
** Currently, the metadata source must be a string (so that a SQL query can be created). Doing this with a table is probably more complicated.
** Query is set up to extract only the most recent statistics results for each column.
