             Summary: Support hash aggregation with SORT_MERGE_JOIN
                 Key: PHOENIX-4751
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-4751
             Project: Phoenix
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 4.14.0, 4.13.1
            Reporter: Gerald Sangudi


A GROUP BY that follows a SORT_MERGE_JOIN should be able to use hash aggregation in some cases, for improved performance.

When a GROUP BY follows a SORT_MERGE_JOIN, the GROUP BY does not use hash aggregation. It instead performs a CLIENT SORT followed by a CLIENT AGGREGATE. The performance can be improved if (a) the GROUP BY output does not need to be sorted, and (b) the GROUP BY input is large enough and has low cardinality.

The hash aggregation can initially be a hint. Here is an example from Phoenix 4.13.1 that would benefit from hash aggregation if the GROUP BY input is large with low cardinality.

{{CREATE TABLE unsalted (}}
{{ keyA BIGINT NOT NULL,}}
{{ keyB BIGINT NOT NULL,}}
{{ val SMALLINT,}}
{{ CONSTRAINT pk PRIMARY KEY (keyA, keyB)}}
{{ );}}

{{EXPLAIN}}
{{ SELECT /*+ USE_SORT_MERGE_JOIN */ }}
{{ t1.val v1, t2.val v2, COUNT(*) c }}
{{ FROM unsalted t1 JOIN unsalted t2 }}
{{ ON (t1.keyA = t2.keyA) }}
{{ GROUP BY t1.val, t2.val;}}
