Case: Using DN Gather to Reduce Stream Nodes in the Plan

The DN Gather is used to remove the stream nodes from the distribution plan and send data to a node for calculation. This reduces the cost of data redistribution during the execution of the distribution plan and improves the single query performance and the overall throughput capability of the system. However, DN Gather is oriented to small-data-volume scenarios of TP. For small-data-volume queries, performance can be improved because the cost of data redistribution is reduced and the computing power of a single node is sufficient. Multi-node parallel computing is more advantageous for large-data-volume computing. You need to enable and disable DN Gather to determine which one is faster. (The default value of dngather_min_rows is 500. The following uses the default value.) Some cases are provided as follows:

Gather Join

To converge the join results to a single DN, the following conditions must be met:

  • The number of data rows estimated by the optimizer before and after join is less than the threshold.
  • The subnodes of Join are all stream nodes.

For example, the subnodes of Join are all stream nodes, and broadcast is disabled.
