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 efficiency 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.)

Preparing the Case Environment

To facilitate case demonstration, you need to prepare the following table creation statements:

-- Clean the environment.
DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS dn_gather_test CASCADE;
CREATE SCHEMA dn_gather_test;
SET current_schema=dn_gather_test;
-- Create a test table.
CREATE TABLE t1(a INT, b INT, c INT, d INT);
CREATE TABLE t2(a INT, b INT, c INT, d INT);
CREATE TABLE t3(a INT, b INT, c INT, d INT);
CREATE TABLE t4(a INT, b INT, c INT, d INT);

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.

Union/Union all

To converge union/union all results to a single DN, the following condition must be met:

  • At least one subnode must meet the requirements in the preceding three cases (Gather Join, Gather Groupby/Agg, and Gather window function).

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