物化视图查询改写

本文描述了如何利用 StarRocks 的异步物化视图来改写并加速查询。

概述

StarRocks 的异步物化视图采用了主流的基于 SPJG(select-project-join-group-by)模式透明查询改写算法。在不修改查询语句的前提下,StarRocks 可以自动将在基表上的查询改写为在物化视图上的查询。通过其中包含的预计算结果,物化视图可以帮助您显著降低计算成本,并大幅加速查询执行。

基于异步物化视图的查询改写功能,在以下场景下特别有用:

  • 指标预聚合

    如果您需要处理高维度数据,可以使用物化视图来创建预聚合指标层。

  • 宽表 Join

    物化视图允许您在复杂场景下下透明加速包含大宽表 Join 的查询。

  • 湖仓加速

    构建基于 External Catalog 的物化视图可以轻松加速针对数据湖中数据的查询。

说明

基于 JDBC Catalog 表构建的异步物化视图暂不支持查询改写。

功能特点

StarRocks 的异步物化视图自动查询改写功能具有以下特点:

  • 强数据一致性:如果基表是 StarRocks 内表,StarRocks 可以保证通过物化视图查询改写获得的结果与直接查询基表的结果一致。
  • Staleness rewrite:StarRocks 支持 Staleness rewrite,即允许容忍一定程度的数据过期,以应对数据变更频繁的情况。
  • 多表 Join:StarRocks 的异步物化视图支持各种类型的 Join,包括一些复杂的 Join 场景,如 View Delta Join 和 Join 派生改写,可用于加速涉及大宽表的查询场景。
  • 聚合改写:StarRocks 可以改写带有聚合操作的查询,以提高报表性能。
  • 嵌套物化视图:StarRocks 支持基于嵌套物化视图改写复杂查询,扩展了可改写的查询范围。
  • Union 改写:您可以将 Union 改写特性与物化视图分区的生存时间(TTL)相结合,实现冷热数据的分离,允许您从物化视图查询热数据,从基表查询历史数据。
  • 基于视图构建物化视图:您可以在基于视图建模的情景下加速查询。
  • 基于 External Catalog 构建物化视图:您可以通过该特性加速数据湖中的查询。
  • 复杂表达式改写:支持在表达式中调用函数和算术运算,满足复杂分析和计算需求。

这些特点将在以下各节中详细说明。

Join 改写

StarRocks 支持改写具有各种类型 Join 的查询,包括 Inner Join、Cross Join、Left Outer Join、Full Outer Join、Right Outer Join、Semi Join 和 Anti Join。 以下示例展示 Join 查询的改写。创建以下基表:

CREATE TABLE customer (
c_custkey INT(11) NOT NULL,
c_name VARCHAR(26) NOT NULL,
c_address VARCHAR(41) NOT NULL,
c_city VARCHAR(11) NOT NULL,
c_nation VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
c_region VARCHAR(13) NOT NULL,
c_phone VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
c_mktsegment VARCHAR(11) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=OLAP
DUPLICATE KEY(c_custkey)
DISTRIBUTED BY HASH(c_custkey) BUCKETS 12;

CREATE TABLE lineorder (
lo_orderkey INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_linenumber INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_custkey INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_partkey INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_suppkey INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_orderdate INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_orderpriority VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
lo_shippriority INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_quantity INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_extendedprice INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_ordtotalprice INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_discount INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_revenue INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_supplycost INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_tax INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_commitdate INT(11) NOT NULL,
lo_shipmode VARCHAR(11) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=OLAP
DUPLICATE KEY(lo_orderkey)
DISTRIBUTED BY HASH(lo_orderkey) BUCKETS 48;

基于上述基表,创建以下物化视图:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW join_mv1
DISTRIBUTED BY HASH(lo_orderkey)
AS
SELECT lo_orderkey, lo_linenumber, lo_revenue, lo_partkey, c_name, c_address
FROM lineorder INNER JOIN customer
ON lo_custkey = c_custkey;

该物化视图可以改写以下查询:

SELECT lo_orderkey, lo_linenumber, lo_revenue, c_name, c_address
FROM lineorder INNER JOIN customer
ON lo_custkey = c_custkey;

其原始查询计划和改写后的计划如下:

Rewrite-1

StarRocks 支持改写具有复杂表达式的 Join 查询,如算术运算、字符串函数、日期函数、CASE WHEN 表达式和谓词 OR 等。例如,上述物化视图可以改写以下查询:

SELECT 
lo_orderkey,
lo_linenumber,
(2 * lo_revenue + 1) * lo_linenumber,
upper(c_name),
substr(c_address, 3)
FROM lineorder INNER JOIN customer
ON lo_custkey = c_custkey;

除了常规场景,StarRocks还支持在更复杂的情景下改写 Join 查询。

Query Delta Join 改写

Query Delta Join 是指查询中 Join 的表是物化视图中 Join 的表的超集的情况。例如,以下查询 Join 了表 lineorder、表 customer 和 表 part。如果物化视图 join_mv1 仅包含 lineordercustomer 的 Join,StarRocks 可以使用 join_mv1 来改写查询。

示例:

SELECT lo_orderkey, lo_linenumber, lo_revenue, c_name, c_address, p_name
FROM
lineorder INNER JOIN customer ON lo_custkey = c_custkey
INNER JOIN part ON lo_partkey = p_partkey;

其原始查询计划和改写后的计划如下:

Rewrite-2

View Delta Join 改写

View Delta Join 指的是查询中 Join 的表是物化视图中 Join 的表的子集的情况。通常在涉及大宽表的情景中使用此功能。例如,在 Star Schema Benchmark (SSB) 的背景下,您可以通过创建物化视图,Join 所有表以提高查询性能。测试发现在通过物化视图透明改写查询后,多表 Join 的查询性能可以达到与查询相应大宽表相同的性能水平。

要启用 View Delta Join 改写,必须保证物化视图中包含在查询中不存在的 1:1 的 Cardinality Preservation Join。满足以下约束条件的九种 Join 都被视为 Cardinality Preservation Join,可以用于启用 View Delta Join 改写:

Rewrite-3

INNER JOIN part AS p ON p.P_PARTKEY = l.LO_PARTKEY
INNER JOIN dates AS d ON l.LO_ORDERDATE = d.D_DATEKEY;

SSB Q2.1 涉及四个表的 Join,但与物化视图 lineorder_flat_mv 相比,缺少了 customer 表。在 lineorder_flat_mv 中,lineorder INNER JOIN customer 本质上是一个 Cardinality Preservation Join。因此逻辑上,可以消除该 Join 而不影响查询结果。因此,Q2.1 可以使用 lineorder_flat_mv 进行改写。

SSB Q2.1:

SELECT sum(lo_revenue) AS lo_revenue, d_year, p_brand
FROM lineorder
JOIN dates ON lo_orderdate = d_datekey
JOIN part ON lo_partkey = p_partkey
JOIN supplier ON lo_suppkey = s_suppkey
WHERE p_category = 'MFGR#12' AND s_region = 'AMERICA'
GROUP BY d_year, p_brand
ORDER BY d_year, p_brand;

其原始查询计划和改写后的计划如下:

Rewrite-4

同样,SSB 中的其他查询也可以通过使用 lineorder_flat_mv 进行透明改写,从而优化查询性能。

Join 派生改写

Join 派生是指物化视图和查询中的 Join 类型不一致,但物化视图的 Join 结果包含查询 Join 结果的情况。目前支持两种情景:三表或以上 Join 和两表 Join 的情景。

  • 情景一:三表或以上 Join

    假设物化视图包含表 t1 和表 t2 之间的 Left Outer Join,以及表 t2 和表 t3 之间的 Inner Join。两个 Join 的条件都包括来自表 t2 的列。

    而查询则包含 t1t2 之间的 Inner Join,以及 t2t3 之间的 Inner Join。两个 Join 的条件都包括来自表 t2 的列。

    在这种情况下,上述查询可以通过物化视图改写。这是因为在物化视图中,首先执行 Left Outer Join,然后执行 Inner Join。Left Outer Join 生成的右表没有匹配结果(即右表中的列为 NULL)。这些结果在执行 Inner Join 期间被过滤掉。因此,物化视图和查询的逻辑是等效的,可以对查询进行改写。

    示例:

    创建物化视图 join_mv5

    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW join_mv5
    PARTITION BY lo_orderdate
    DISTRIBUTED BY hash(lo_orderkey)
    PROPERTIES (
    "partition_refresh_number" = "1"
    )
    AS
    SELECT lo_orderkey, lo_orderdate, lo_linenumber, lo_revenue, c_custkey, c_address, p_name
    FROM customer LEFT OUTER JOIN lineorder
    ON c_custkey = lo_custkey
    INNER JOIN part
    ON p_partkey = lo_partkey;

    join_mv5 可改写以下查询:

    SELECT lo_orderkey, lo_orderdate, lo_linenumber, lo_revenue, c_custkey, c_address, p_name
    FROM customer INNER JOIN lineorder
    ON c_custkey = lo_custkey
    INNER JOIN part
    ON p_partkey = lo_partkey;

    其原始查询计划和改写后的计划如下:

    Rewrite-5

    同样,如果物化视图定义为 t1 INNER JOIN t2 INNER JOIN t3,而查询为 LEFT OUTER JOIN t2 INNER JOIN t3,那么查询也可以被改写。而且,在涉及超过三个表的情况下,也具备上述的改写能力。

  • 情景二:两表 Join

    两表 Join 的派生改写支持以下几种细分场景:

    Rewrite-6

    在场景一至九中,需要向改写结果补偿过滤谓词,以确保语义等效性。例如,创建以下物化视图:

    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW join_mv3
    DISTRIBUTED BY hash(lo_orderkey)
    AS
    SELECT lo_orderkey, lo_linenumber, lo_revenue, c_custkey, c_address
    FROM lineorder LEFT OUTER JOIN customer
    ON lo_custkey = c_custkey;

    join_mv3 可以改写以下查询,其查询结果需补偿谓词 c_custkey IS NOT NULL

    SELECT lo_orderkey, lo_linenumber, lo_revenue, c_custkey, c_address
    FROM lineorder INNER JOIN customer
    ON lo_custkey = c_custkey;

    其原始查询计划和改写后的计划如下:

    Rewrite-7

    在场景十中, 需要 Left Outer Join 查询中包含右表中 IS NOT NULL 的过滤谓词,如 =<>><<=>=LIKEINNOT LIKENOT IN。例如,创建以下物化视图:

    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW join_mv4
    DISTRIBUTED BY hash(lo_orderkey)
    AS
    SELECT lo_orderkey, lo_linenumber, lo_revenue, c_custkey, c_address
    FROM lineorder INNER JOIN customer
    ON lo_custkey = c_custkey;

    join_mv4 可以改写以下查询,其中 customer.c_address = "Sb4gxKs7"IS NOT NULL 谓词:

    SELECT lo_orderkey, lo_linenumber, lo_revenue, c_custkey, c_address
    FROM lineorder LEFT OUTER JOIN customer
    ON lo_custkey = c_custkey
    WHERE customer.c_address = "Sb4gxKs7";

    其原始查询计划和改写后的计划如下:

    Rewrite-8

聚合改写

StarRocks 异步物化视图的多表聚合查询改写支持所有聚合函数,包括 bitmap_union、hll_union 和 percentile_union 等。例如,创建以下物化视图:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW agg_mv1
DISTRIBUTED BY hash(lo_orderkey)
AS
SELECT
lo_orderkey,
lo_linenumber,
c_name,
sum(lo_revenue) AS total_revenue,
max(lo_discount) AS max_discount
FROM lineorder INNER JOIN customer
ON lo_custkey = c_custkey
GROUP BY lo_orderkey, lo_linenumber, c_name;

该物化视图可以改写以下查询:

SELECT 
lo_orderkey,
lo_linenumber,
c_name,
sum(lo_revenue) AS total_revenue,
max(lo_discount) AS max_discount
FROM lineorder INNER JOIN customer
ON lo_custkey = c_custkey
GROUP BY lo_orderkey, lo_linenumber, c_name;

其原始查询计划和改写后的计划如下:

Rewrite-9

以下各节详细阐述了聚合改写功能可用的场景。

聚合上卷改写

StarRocks 支持通过聚合上卷改写查询,即 StarRocks 可以使用通过 GROUP BY a,b 子句创建的异步物化视图改写带有 GROUP BY a 子句的聚合查询。例如,agg_mv1 可以改写以下查询:

SELECT 
lo_orderkey,
c_name,
sum(lo_revenue) AS total_revenue,
max(lo_discount) AS max_discount
FROM lineorder INNER JOIN customer
ON lo_custkey = c_custkey
GROUP BY lo_orderkey, c_name;

其原始查询计划和改写后的计划如下:

Rewrite-10

说明

当前暂不支持 grouping set、grouping set with rollup 以及 grouping set with cube 的改写。

仅有部分聚合函数支持聚合上卷查询改写。下表展示了原始查询中的聚合函数与用于构建物化视图的聚合函数之间的对应关系。您可以根据自己的业务场景,选择相应的聚合函数构建物化视图。

原始查询聚合函数支持 Aggregate Rollup 的物化视图构建聚合函数
sumsum
countcount
minmin
maxmax
avgsum / count
bitmap_union, bitmap_union_count, count(distinct)bitmap_union
hll_raw_agg, hll_union_agg, ndv, approx_count_distincthll_union
percentile_approx, percentile_unionpercentile_union

没有相应 GROUP BY 列的 DISTINCT 聚合无法使用聚合上卷查询改写。但是,从 StarRocks v3.1 开始,如果聚合上卷对应 DISTINCT 聚合函数的查询没有 GROUP BY 列,但有等价的谓词,该查询也可以被相关物化视图重写,因为 StarRocks 可以将等价谓词转换为 GROUP BY 常量表达式。

在以下示例中,StarRocks 可以使用物化视图 order_agg_mv1 改写对应查询 Query:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW order_agg_mv1
DISTRIBUTED BY HASH(`order_id`) BUCKETS 12
REFRESH ASYNC START('2022-09-01 10:00:00') EVERY (interval 1 day)
AS
SELECT
order_date,
count(distinct client_id)
FROM order_list
GROUP BY order_date;


-- Query
SELECT
order_date,
count(distinct client_id)
FROM order_list WHERE order_date='2023-07-03';

COUNT DISTINCT 改写

StarRocks 支持将 COUNT DISTINCT 计算改写为 BITMAP 类型的计算,从而使用物化视图实现高性能、精确的去重。例如,创建以下物化视图:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW distinct_mv
DISTRIBUTED BY hash(lo_orderkey)
AS
SELECT lo_orderkey, bitmap_union(to_bitmap(lo_custkey)) AS distinct_customer
FROM lineorder
GROUP BY lo_orderkey;

该物化视图可以改写以下查询:

SELECT lo_orderkey, count(distinct lo_custkey) 
FROM lineorder
GROUP BY lo_orderkey;

嵌套物化视图改写

StarRocks 支持使用嵌套物化视图改写查询。例如,创建以下物化视图 join_mv2agg_mv2agg_mv3

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW join_mv2
DISTRIBUTED BY hash(lo_orderkey)
AS
SELECT lo_orderkey, lo_linenumber, lo_revenue, c_name, c_address
FROM lineorder INNER JOIN customer
ON lo_custkey = c_custkey;


CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW agg_mv2
DISTRIBUTED BY hash(lo_orderkey)
AS
SELECT
lo_orderkey,
lo_linenumber,
c_name,
sum(lo_revenue) AS total_revenue,
max(lo_discount) AS max_discount
FROM join_mv2
GROUP BY lo_orderkey, lo_linenumber, c_name;

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW agg_mv3
DISTRIBUTED BY hash(lo_orderkey)
AS
SELECT
lo_orderkey,
sum(total_revenue) AS total_revenue,
max(max_discount) AS max_discount
FROM agg_mv2
GROUP BY lo_orderkey;

其关系如下:

Rewrite-11

agg_mv3 可改写以下查询:

SELECT 
lo_orderkey,
sum(lo_revenue) AS total_revenue,
max(lo_discount) AS max_discount
FROM lineorder INNER JOIN customer
ON lo_custkey = c_custkey
GROUP BY lo_orderkey;

其原始查询计划和改写后的计划如下:

Rewrite-12

Union 改写

谓词 Union 改写

当物化视图的谓词范围是查询的谓词范围的子集时,可以使用 UNION 操作改写查询。

例如,创建以下物化视图:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW agg_mv4
DISTRIBUTED BY hash(lo_orderkey)
AS
SELECT
lo_orderkey,
sum(lo_revenue) AS total_revenue,
max(lo_discount) AS max_discount
FROM lineorder
WHERE lo_orderkey < 300000000
GROUP BY lo_orderkey;

该物化视图可以改写以下查询:

select 
lo_orderkey,
sum(lo_revenue) AS total_revenue,
max(lo_discount) AS max_discount
FROM lineorder
GROUP BY lo_orderkey;

其原始查询计划和改写后的计划如下:

Rewrite-13

其中,agg_mv5 包含lo_orderkey < 300000000 的数据,lo_orderkey >= 300000000 的数据通过直接查询表 lineorder 得到,最终通过 Union 操作之后再聚合,获取最终结果。

分区 Union 改写

假设基于分区表创建了一个分区物化视图。当查询扫描的分区范围是物化视图最新分区范围的超集时,查询可被 UNION 改写。

例如,有如下的物化视图 agg_mv4。基表 lineorder 当前包含分区 p1p7,物化视图也包含分区 p1p7

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW agg_mv5
DISTRIBUTED BY hash(lo_orderkey)
PARTITION BY RANGE(lo_orderdate)
REFRESH MANUAL
AS
SELECT
lo_orderdate,
lo_orderkey,
sum(lo_revenue) AS total_revenue,
max(lo_discount) AS max_discount
FROM lineorder
GROUP BY lo_orderkey;

如果 lineorder 新增分区 p8,其范围为 [("19990101"), ("20000101")),则以下查询可被 UNION 改写:

SELECT 
lo_orderdate,
lo_orderkey,
sum(lo_revenue) AS total_revenue,
max(lo_discount) AS max_discount
FROM lineorder
GROUP BY lo_orderkey;

其原始查询计划和改写后的计划如下:

Rewrite-14

如上所示,agg_mv5 包含来自分区 p1p7 的数据,而分区 p8 的数据来源于 lineorder。最后,这两组数据使用 UNION 操作合并。

基于视图构建物化视图

StarRocks 支持基于视图创建物化视图。后续针对视图的查询可以被透明改写。

例如,创建以下视图:

CREATE VIEW customer_view1 
AS
SELECT c_custkey, c_name, c_address
FROM customer;

CREATE VIEW lineorder_view1
AS
SELECT lo_orderkey, lo_linenumber, lo_custkey, lo_revenue
FROM lineorder;

根据以上视图创建物化视图:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW join_mv1
DISTRIBUTED BY hash(lo_orderkey)
AS
SELECT lo_orderkey, lo_linenumber, lo_revenue, c_name
FROM lineorder_view1 INNER JOIN customer_view1
ON lo_custkey = c_custkey;

查询改写过程中,针对 customer_view1lineorder_view1 的查询会自动展开到基表,然后进行透明匹配改写。

基于 External Catalog 构建物化视图

StarRocks 支持基于 Hive Catalog、Hudi Catalog 和 Iceberg Catalog 的外部数据源上构建异步物化视图,并支持透明地改写查询。基于 External Catalog 的物化视图支持大多数查询改写功能,但存在以下限制:

  • 基于 Hudi、Iceberg 和 JDBC Catalog 创建的物化视图不支持 Union 改写。
  • 基于 Hudi、Iceberg 和 JDBC Catalog 创建的物化视图不支持 View Delta Join 改写。
  • 基于 Hudi、Iceberg 和 JDBC Catalog 创建的物化视图不支持分区增量刷新。

设置物化视图查询改写

您可以通过以下 Session 变量设置异步物化视图查询改写。

变量默认值描述
enable_materialized_view_union_rewritetrue是否开启物化视图 Union 改写。
enable_rule_based_materialized_view_rewritetrue是否开启基于规则的物化视图查询改写功能,主要用于处理单表查询改写。
nested_mv_rewrite_max_level3可用于查询改写的嵌套物化视图的最大层数。类型:INT。取值范围:[1, +∞)。取值为 1 表示只可使用基于基表创建的物化视图来进行查询改写。

验证查询改写是否生效

您可以使用 EXPLAIN 语句查看对应 Query Plan。如果其中 OlapScanNode 项目下的 TABLE 为对应异步物化视图名称,则表示该查询已基于异步物化视图改写。

mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT 
order_id, sum(goods.price) AS total
FROM order_list INNER JOIN goods
ON goods.item_id1 = order_list.item_id2
GROUP BY order_id;

禁用查询改写

StarRocks 默认开启基于 Default Catalog 创建的异步物化视图查询改写。您可以通过将 Session 变量 enable_materialized_view_rewrite 设置为 false 禁用该功能。

对于基于 External Catalog 创建的异步物化视图,你可以通过 ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW 将物化视图 Property force_external_table_query_rewrite 设置为 false 来禁用此功能。

限制

单就物化视图查询改写能力,StarRocks 目前存在以下限制:

  • StarRocks 不支持非确定性函数的改写,包括 rand、random、uuid 以及 sleep。
  • StarRocks 不支持窗口函数的改写。
  • 如果物化视图定义语句中包含 LIMIT、ORDER BY、UNION、EXCEPT、INTERSECT、MINUS、GROUPING SETS、WITH CUBE 或 WITH ROLLUP,则无法用于改写。
  • 基于 External Catalog 的物化视图不保证查询结果强一致。
  • 基于 JDBC Catalog 表构建的异步物化视图暂不支持查询改写。
