Distribution Column Recommendation Functions
Distribution column recommendation is used to recommend distribution columns and distribution modes in a distributed database. The purpose is to reduce the labor cost of selecting distribution columns during service migration or rollout.

No |
|
maxMemory |
int |
Maximum memory occupied by distribution column recommendation. The default value is 1024. The value ranges from 1 to 10240, in MB. |
No |
- sqladvisor.set_weight_params(real, real, real)
Description: Sets the weight of different components in heuristic rules. A default parameter is set when the init function is invoked. This function does not need to be invoked during analysis.
Return type: Boolean
|
Parameter |
Type |
Description |
Mandatory or Not |
|---|---|---|---|
|
joinWeight |
real |
Weight of JOIN. The value ranges from 0 to 1000. |
Yes |
|
goupbyWeight |
real |
Weight of GROUP BY. The value ranges from 0 to 1000. |
Yes |
|
qualWeight |
real |
Weight of predicate. The value ranges from 0 to 1000. |
Yes |
This function is optional. When the init function is executed, the default weights of JOIN, GROUP BY, and predicate are preset to 1.0, 0.1, and 0.05, respectively.
- sqladvisor.set_cost_params(bigint, boolean, text)
Description: Parameter that can be set in the Whtif cost model.
Return type: Boolean
|
Parameter |
Type |
Description |
Mandatory or Not |
|---|---|---|---|
|
maxTime |
bigint |
Maximum recommendation duration, in minutes. If the value is less than or equal to 0, the duration is not limited by default. |
Yes |
|
isTotalSQL |
boolean |
Indicates whether all SQL statements are used for calculation. The value true indicates that all SQL statements are used for calculation. The value false indicates that SQL statements whose cost is too high or too low are filtered out based on the percentile. |
Yes |
|
compressLevel |
text |
Search space size of the recommendation algorithm. The options are low, med, and high. |
Yes |
- This function is optional. When the init function is executed, maxTime is preset to –1, isTotalSQL is preset to true, and compressLevel is preset to high.
- A lower compression level indicates longer time, and it is more likely that a better result can be achieved.

Description: Specifies a table as a replication table.
Parameter: table name
Return type: Boolean
The specified replication table must be used before analyze_query and analyze_workload are invoked.
