COUNT returns inconsistent results when column statistics are not gathered -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: TEIID-4553 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-4553 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Engine Affects Versions: 8.7 Reporter: Salvatore R Assignee: Steven Hawkins Priority: Blocker Fix For: 9.0.6, 9.1.2, 9.2, 8.12.9.6_3 I am experiencing a weird behavior in 9.1.0-Final. Depending if column statistics are gathered or not, a query with COUNT(1) generates different query plans and returns different results. For example, I defined two simple tables ds1.test_count_1 and ds2.test_count_2 having just a single column and one row with value 1. The following query: {code:sql} select count(1) from ds1.test_count_1 t1 join ds2.test_count_2 t2 on t1.a=t2.a group by t1.a {code} returns 4 with statistics and 2 without. This is the plan generated when statistics are gathered (the correct one): {code:sql} ProjectNode + Relational Node ID:1 + Output Columns:expr1 (integer) + Statistics: 0: Node Output Rows: 1 1: Node Next Batch Process Time: 0 2: Node Cumulative Next Batch Process Time: 1 3: Node Cumulative Process Time: 3 4: Node Next Batch Calls: 2 5: Node Blocks: 1 + Cost Estimates:Estimated Node Cardinality: 1.5 + Child 0: GroupingNode + Relational Node ID:2 + Output Columns:agg0 (integer) + Statistics: 0: Node Output Rows: 1 1: Node Next Batch Process Time: 0 2: Node Cumulative Next Batch Process Time: 1 3: Node Cumulative Process Time: 3 4: Node Next Batch Calls: 2 5: Node Blocks: 1 + Cost Estimates:Estimated Node Cardinality: 1.5 + Child 0: JoinNode + Relational Node ID:3 + Output Columns:a (string) + Statistics: 0: Node Output Rows: 4 1: Node Next Batch Process Time: 0 2: Node Cumulative Next Batch Process Time: 1 3: Node Cumulative Process Time: 3 4: Node Next Batch Calls: 2 5: Node Blocks: 1 + Cost Estimates:Estimated Node Cardinality: 2.8284268 + Child 0: AccessNode + Relational Node ID:4 + Output Columns:a (string) + Statistics: 0: Node Output Rows: 2 1: Node Next Batch Process Time: 0 2: Node Cumulative Next Batch Process Time: 0 3: Node Cumulative Process Time: 2 4: Node Next Batch Calls: 3 5: Node Blocks: 2 + Cost Estimates:Estimated Node Cardinality: 2.0 + Query:SELECT g_0.a FROM ds1.test_count_1 AS g_0 + Model Name:ds1 + Child 1: AccessNode + Relational Node ID:5 + Output Columns:a (string) + Statistics: 0: Node Output Rows: 2 1: Node Next Batch Process Time: 1 2: Node Cumulative Next Batch Process Time: 1 3: Node Cumulative Process Time: 3 4: Node Next Batch Calls: 2 5: Node Blocks: 1 + Cost Estimates:Estimated Node Cardinality: 2.0 + Query:SELECT g_0.a FROM ds2.test_count_2 AS g_0 + Model Name:ds2 + Join Strategy:ENHANCED SORT JOIN (SORT/SORT) + Join Type:INNER JOIN + Join Criteria:t1.a=t2.a + Grouping Columns:t1.a + Grouping Mapping: 0: anon_grp0.gcol0=t1.a 1: anon_grp0.agg0=COUNT(1) + Sort Mode:false + Select Columns:anon_grp0.agg0 AS expr1 + Data Bytes Sent:17 + Planning Time:3 {code} and this is the one without statistics: {code:sql} ProjectNode + Relational Node ID:2 + Output Columns:expr1 (integer) + Statistics: 0: Node Output Rows: 1 1: Node Next Batch Process Time: 0 2: Node Cumulative Next Batch Process Time: 1 3: Node Cumulative Process Time: 3 4: Node Next Batch Calls: 2 5: Node Blocks: 1 + Cost Estimates:Estimated Node Cardinality: -1.0 + Child 0: GroupingNode + Relational Node ID:3 + Output Columns:agg0 (integer) + Statistics: 0: Node Output Rows: 1 1: Node Next Batch Process Time: 0 2: Node Cumulative Next Batch Process Time: 1 3: Node Cumulative Process Time: 3 4: Node Next Batch Calls: 2 5: Node Blocks: 1 + Cost Estimates:Estimated Node Cardinality: -1.0 + Child 0: JoinNode + Relational Node ID:4 + Output Columns:gcol0 (string) + Statistics: 0: Node Output Rows: 2 1: Node Next Batch Process Time: 0 2: Node Cumulative Next Batch Process Time: 1 3: Node Cumulative Process Time: 3 4: Node Next Batch Calls: 2 5: Node Blocks: 1 + Cost Estimates:Estimated Node Cardinality: -1.0 + Child 0: AccessNode + Relational Node ID:5 + Output Columns:gcol0 (string) + Statistics: 0: Node Output Rows: 1 1: Node Next Batch Process Time: 1 2: Node Cumulative Next Batch Process Time: 1 3: Node Cumulative Process Time: 3 4: Node Next Batch Calls: 3 5: Node Blocks: 2 + Cost Estimates:Estimated Node Cardinality: -1.0 + Query:SELECT g_0.a FROM ds1.test_count_1 AS g_0 GROUP BY g_0.a + Model Name:ds1 + Child 1: AccessNode + Relational Node ID:6 + Output Columns:a (string) + Statistics: 0: Node Output Rows: 2 1: Node Next Batch Process Time: 0 2: Node Cumulative Next Batch Process Time: 0 3: Node Cumulative Process Time: 3 4: Node Next Batch Calls: 2 5: Node Blocks: 1 + Cost Estimates:Estimated Node Cardinality: -1.0 + Query:SELECT g_0.a FROM ds2.test_count_2 AS g_0 + Model Name:ds2 + Join Strategy:ENHANCED SORT JOIN (SORT/SORT) + Join Type:INNER JOIN + Join Criteria:anon_grp1.gcol0=t2.a + Grouping Columns:anon_grp1.gcol0 + Grouping Mapping: 0: anon_grp0.gcol0=anon_grp1.gcol0 1: anon_grp0.agg0=COUNT(1) + Sort Mode:false + Select Columns:anon_grp0.agg0 AS expr1 + Data Bytes Sent:17 + Planning Time:4 {code}
