             Summary: Make partition pruning multi-phased to reduce the working set kept in memory
                 Key: DRILL-3759
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3759
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Query Planning & Optimization
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
            Reporter: Aman Sinha
            Assignee: Jinfeng Ni


Currently, partition pruning gets all file names in the table and applies the pruning.  Suppose the files are spread out over several directories and there is a filter  on dirN,  this is not efficient - both in terms of elapsed time and memory usage.  This has been seen in a few use cases recently. 

Wherever possible, we should ideally perform the pruning in N steps (where N is the number of directory levels referenced in the filter conditions):   
  1. Get the directory and  filenames at level i
  2. Materialize into the in-memory table 
  3. Apply interpreter-based evaluation of filter condition
  4. Determine qualifying directories, increment i and repeat from step 1
 
This multi phase approach may not be possible for certain types of filters - e,g for disjunctions. This analysis needs to be done.
