CDW August 27, 2021 release enables min/max filters, by default, for equi-joins on
lexical (leading column) or Z-Order (all columns) sorted columns in a Parquet table
created by Impala. When such a sorted column is also the equi- join column, the
min/max values in the filter are computed from the hash table build side and applied to
the sorted column. In this way, the user can take advantage of Impala sorting the
min/max values in column index in each data file for the table by quickly eliminating
non-matching row groups, pages or rows. The query option minmax_filter_sorted_columns
which defaults to true can be used to control the feature. When
minmax_filter_sorted_columns is true, the patch will generate min/max filters only for the
sort columns. The normal control knobs minmax_filter_threshold (for threshold) and
minmax_filtering_level (for filtering level) will also continue to work. When the threshold is
0, the patch automatically assigns a reasonable value for the threshold, and selects
PAGE to be the filtering level.
In the backend, the skipped pages are quickly found by taking a fast code path to
identify the corresponding lower and the upper bounds in the sorted min and max value
arrays, given a range in the filter. The skipped pages are expressed as page ranges
which are translated into row ranges later on.
A new query option minmax_filter_fast_code_path is added to control the work of the fast
code path. This option can be assigned one of these three values ON (default), OFF, or
VERIFICATION. The last value helps verify that the results from both the fast and the
regular code path are the same.
The following example shows how min/max filtering on leading sort-by columns
improves the performance of scan operators greatly.
select straight_join a.l_orderkey from
simpflified_lineitem a join [SHUFFLE] tpch_parquet.lineitem b
When this query is run on pages containing no more than 24000 rows, the results with
different filtering options are as shown here:
It allows you to filter a range of data based on criteria you define. Play. In the
following example we used the formula =FILTER(A5:D20,C5:C20=H2,"") to return all
records for Apple, as selected in cell H2, and if there are no apples, return an empty
string ("").
Slicers provide buttons that you can click to filter tables, or PivotTables. In addition to
quick filtering, slicers also indicate the current filtering state, which makes it easy to
understand what exactly is currently displayed.
