[SPARK-11164] [SQL] Add InSet pushdown filter back for Parquet

[gatorsmile]

When the filter is "b in ('1', '2')", the filter is not pushed down to Parquet. Thanks!

[gatorsmile]

After reading the other push-down PR, I think it also needs a review from @liancheng . Welcome any comment! Thanks!

[marmbrus]

Do you have a test case that actually shows a wrong answer being computed?

[gatorsmile]

This only happens in 1.5. Do you need me to write a test case for 1.5?

[marmbrus]

Any bug fix should have a regression test. We could always change the optimizer in a way that does not hide this bug anymore.

[gatorsmile]

Ok, will make a try to force it. Thanks!

[marmbrus]

Its fine if the test only fails on 1.5

[gatorsmile]

Great! : )

Let me also post the test case I did in the latest 1.5. Without my fix, the first call of show() did not return the row (2, 0). Feel free to let me know if you want me to deliver the following test case.

 withSQLConf(SQLConf.PARQUET_FILTER_PUSHDOWN_ENABLED.key ->"true") {
withTempPath { dir =>valpath=s"${dir.getCanonicalPath}/table1"
(1 to 5).map(i => (i, (i%2).toString)).toDF("a", "b").write.parquet(path)
valdf= sqlContext.read.parquet(path).where("not (a = 2 and b in ('1'))")
df.show()
valdf1= sqlContext.read.parquet(path).where("not (a = 2) or not(b in ('1'))")
df1.show()
}
}

I might find another bug in Parquet pushdown. Will submit the fix later when I can confirm it.

@gatorsmile Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the nice catch!

The In predicate push down issue had been tracked by SPARK-11164, and done as part of PR #8956. Unfortunately that we didn't merge that PR due to other problems in it. Could you please add SPARK-11164 to your PR title?

For the Not push-down rule:

1. I'm for adding it to branch-1.5 since it's a pretty safe one.
2. I think we might also want to add more general CNF conversion rule to master, which should be done in a separate PR, of course.

One benefit of CNF is that it enables more filter push-down opportunities.

Since we don't have existential / universal quantifier in our predicates, I think CNF conversion in Spark SQL can be as simple as keeping pushing Not and Or inward (or downward) using De Morgan's laws and the distributive law:

objectCNFConversionextendsRule[LogicalPlan] {
overridedefapply(plan: LogicalPlan):LogicalPlan= plan transform {
casefilter: Filter=>importorg.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.dsl.expressions._
filter.copy(condition = filter.condition.transform {
caseNot(x Or y) =>!x &&!y
caseNot(x And y) =>!x ||!y
case (x And y) Or z => (x || z) && (y || z)
case x Or (y And z) => (x || y) && (x || z)
})
}
}

(Notice that this version doesn't handle common expression elimination.)

That said, the Not push-down rule is actually a subset of CNF conversion. There had once been a PR aimed to add CNF conversion for data source filter push-down only, but wasn't merged (see SPARK-6624 and PR #6713). As @marmbrus commented there, CNF conversion might be worth being added to the optimizer.

@rxin@marmbrus Not super confident about the CNF conversion conclusion above, please correct me if I'm wrong.

[gatorsmile]

Thank you for your detailed explanation! @liancheng

I have the same opinion as @marmbrus . We should include CNF conversion into our optimizer. Some RDBMS systems do it in the phase of query rewriting. Below is my 2 cents about CNF.

Generally, CNF conversion is an important concept in query optimization, especially when we support indexing in Spark. When (multi-attribute) indexes exist over some subset of conjucts, we can employ these indexes to improve the selectivity.

Thanks!

[yhuai]

Looks like this is the real problem. It is not safe to just push one side at here. This is the place where we drop that In because createFilter(schema, In(...)) returns None.

[yhuai]

@gatorsmile I am also going to try to have a fix. We can later see which one is a more suitable.

[gatorsmile]

Glad to see your fix. : ) Thank you!

@yhuai@liancheng Regarding this PR, should I keep it open? This PR also has another fix that can push down the filter in. Thanks!

[yhuai]

You can change it to just handle In. Actually, I am wondering what was the problem with the other pr that we decided to not add In with that?

[gatorsmile]

After reading the contents, that PR was closed due to another issue of String filters in the same PR. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong. @liancheng

Do you want to deliver this by submitting another PR, @viirya ? Either is fine for me. Thanks!

@gatersmile Yeah, you're right. #8956 initially aimed to fix other issues, and also included the fix for In.

BTW, it's almost always strictly better to open small PRs that contains ONLY a single change than bigger ones that contains multiple changes. The former are much easier to review and get merged. (One liner PRs are super welcomed!)

[gatorsmile]

Thank you for your suggestions! @liancheng : )

Next time, I will not mix multiple fixes in the same PR.

[gatorsmile]

@yhuai Do you think it can be merged?

Please give the credit to @viirya who submitted it in the past. Thank you!

[liancheng]

@gatorsmile Could you please update the PR description?

[gatorsmile]

@liancheng Done. : )

[liancheng]

Thanks! I'm merging this to master, and will attribute this one to @viirya.

[gatorsmile]

Thank you!

[viirya]

Thanks @gatorsmile@liancheng
