QUERY PLANS FOR ANALYTIC SQL CONSTRUCTS

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for executing queries on a database platform. A processing device may execute a first operator in a query plan to process a set of data and generate an intermediate result of a query. the intermediate result of the first operator may be pushed, during execution of the query plan, to a plurality of secondary operators as the intermediate result is generated. Each of the plurality of secondary operators may be initiated to concurrently process the intermediate result to generate a plurality of second results, and a timing of processing of the intermediate result by one or more of the plurality of secondary operators is adjusted to coordinate the generation of the plurality of second results. The processor may execute the final operation on the plurality of second results to generate a final result.
