This page explains how to use EXPLAIN PLAN FOR syntax to obtain different plans of a query in multi-stage engine. You can read more about how to interpret the plans in the Understanding multi-stage explain plans page.
Also remember that plans are logical representations of the query execution. Sometimes it is more useful to study the actual stats of the query execution, which are included on each query result. You can read more about how to interpret the stats in the Understanding multi-stage stats page. {% endhint %}
In Single-stage engine Explain Plan, we do not differentiate any logical/physical plan b/c the structure of the query is fixed. By default it explain the Physical Plan
In multi-stage engine we support EXPLAIN PLAN syntax mostly following Apache Calcite's EXPLAIN PLAN syntax. Here are several examples:
Using SSB standard query example:
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
select
P_BRAND1, sum(LO_REVENUE)
from ssb_lineorder_1, ssb_part_1
where LO_PARTKEY = P_PARTKEY
and P_CATEGORY = 'MFGR#12'
group by P_BRAND1
The result field contains 2 columns and 1 row:
+-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| SQL#$%0 |PLAN#$%1 |
+-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|"EXPLAIN PLAN FOR |"Execution Plan |
|select |LogicalAggregate(group=[{0}], agg#0=[$SUM0($1)]) |
| P_BRAND1, sum(LO_REVENUE) | PinotLogicalExchange(distribution=[hash[0]]) |
|from ssb_lineorder_1, ssb_part_1 | LogicalAggregate(group=[{2}], agg#0=[$SUM0($1)]) |
|where LO_PARTKEY = P_PARTKEY | LogicalJoin(condition=[=($0, $3)], joinType=[inner]) |
| and P_CATEGORY = 'MFGR#12' | PinotLogicalExchange(distribution=[hash[0]]) |
|group by P_BRAND1 | LogicalProject(LO_PARTKEY=[$12], LO_REVENUE=[$14]) |
| and P_CATEGORY = 'MFGR#12' | LogicalTableScan(table=[[ssb_lineorder_1]]) |
|" | PinotLogicalExchange(distribution=[hash[1]]) |
| | LogicalProject(P_BRAND1=[$3], P_PARTKEY=[$9]) |
| | LogicalFilter(condition=[=($4, 'MFGR#12')]) |
| | LogicalTableScan(table=[[ssb_part_1]]) |
| |" |
+-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
noted that all the normal options for EXPLAIN PLAN in Apache Calcite also works in Pinot with extra information including attributes, type, etc.
One of the most useful options is the AS <format>, which support the following formats:
JSON, which returns the plan in a JSON format. This format is useful for parsing the plan in a program and it also provides some extra information that is not present in the default format.XML, which is similar toJSONbut in XML format.DOT, which returns a DOT format that can be used to visualize the plan using tools like Graphviz. This format is understandable by different tools, including online stateless pages.
If we want to gather the implementation plan specific to Pinot internal multi-stage engine operator chain. You can use the EXPLAIN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN :
