[jira] [Created] (IMPALA-15394) HBO stores count(*) scans under the key of a regular scan

             Summary: HBO stores count(*) scans under the key of a regular scan
                 Key: IMPALA-15394
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-15394
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Frontend
            Reporter: Aleksandr Efimov


An HdfsScanNode with the count(*) optimization returns one row per file or row group, so its cardinality is the file count. HdfsScanNode.generateHboKeyString() does not include countStarSlot_, so HBO stores this run under the same key as a regular scan of the same table and conjuncts. The next regular scan takes the file count as its cardinality.

Seen on a Parquet table with 15 files and 13.66M rows: after {{SELECT count(*) FROM t}}, {{SELECT * FROM t}} is planned with {{cardinality=15 (from HBO)}}. The memory estimates above the scan follow it, and so does the per-query memory limit when admission control derives it from the estimate. A regular scan that runs later fixes the record, because the last run wins.

Reproduce: on a Parquet table with more than one file and no HBO record, run {{SELECT count(*) FROM t}}, then {{EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM t}}.
