用 EXPLAIN 查看分区查询的执行计划

使用 EXPLAIN 语句可以查看 TiDB 在执行查询时需要访问的分区。由于存在分区裁剪，所显示的分区通常只是所有分区的一个子集。本文档介绍了常见分区表的一些优化方式，以及如何解读 EXPLAIN 语句返回的执行计划信息。

本文档所使用的示例数据如下：

CREATE TABLE t1 (
 id BIGINT NOT NULL auto_increment,
 d date NOT NULL,
 pad1 BLOB,
 pad2 BLOB,
 pad3 BLOB,
 PRIMARY KEY (id,d)
) PARTITION BY RANGE (YEAR(d)) (
 PARTITION p2016 VALUES LESS THAN (2017),
 PARTITION p2017 VALUES LESS THAN (2018),
 PARTITION p2018 VALUES LESS THAN (2019),
 PARTITION p2019 VALUES LESS THAN (2020),
 PARTITION pmax VALUES LESS THAN MAXVALUE
);
INSERT INTO t1 (d, pad1, pad2, pad3) VALUES
 ('2016-01-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2016-06-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2016-09-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2017-01-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2017-06-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2017-09-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2018-01-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2018-06-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2018-09-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2019-01-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2019-06-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2019-09-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2020-01-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2020-06-01', RANDOM_BYTES(102), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024)),
 ('2020-09-01', RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024));
INSERT INTO t1 SELECT NULL, a.d, RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024) FROM t1 a JOIN t1 b JOIN t1 c LIMIT 10000;
INSERT INTO t1 SELECT NULL, a.d, RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024) FROM t1 a JOIN t1 b JOIN t1 c LIMIT 10000;
INSERT INTO t1 SELECT NULL, a.d, RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024) FROM t1 a JOIN t1 b JOIN t1 c LIMIT 10000;
INSERT INTO t1 SELECT NULL, a.d, RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024), RANDOM_BYTES(1024) FROM t1 a JOIN t1 b JOIN t1 c LIMIT 10000;
SELECT SLEEP(1);
ANALYZE TABLE t1;

以下示例解释了基于新建分区表 t1 的一条语句：

EXPLAIN SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1 WHERE d = '2017-06-01';

+------------------------------+---------+-----------+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| id                           | estRows | task      | access object             | operator info                             |
+------------------------------+---------+-----------+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| StreamAgg_21                 | 1.00    | root      |                           | funcs:count(Column#8)->Column#6           |
| └─TableReader_22             | 1.00    | root      |                           | data:StreamAgg_10                         |
|   └─StreamAgg_10             | 1.00    | cop[tikv] |                           | funcs:count(1)->Column#8                  |
|     └─Selection_20           | 8.87    | cop[tikv] |                           | eq(test.t1.d, 2017-06-01 00:00:00.000000) |
|       └─TableFullScan_19     | 8870.00 | cop[tikv] | table:t1, partition:p2017 | keep order:false                          |
+------------------------------+---------+-----------+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------+
5 rows in set (0.01 sec)

由上述 EXPLAIN 结果可知，从最末尾的 —TableFullScan_19 算子开始，再返回到根部的 StreamAgg_21 算子的执行过程如下：

TiDB 成功地识别出只需要访问一个分区 (p2017)，并将该信息在 access object 列中注明。
└─TableFullScan_19 算子先对整个分区进行扫描，然后执行 └─Selection_20 算子筛选起始日期为 2017-06-01 00:00:00.000000 的行。
之后，└─Selection_20 算子匹配的行在 Coprocessor 中进行流式聚合，Coprocessor 本身就可以理解聚合函数 count。
每个 Coprocessor 请求会发送一行数据给 TiDB 的 └─TableReader_22 算子，然后将数据在 StreamAgg_21 算子下进行流式聚合，再将一行数据返回给客户端。

以下示例中，分区裁剪不会消除任何分区：

EXPLAIN SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1 WHERE YEAR(d) = 2017;

由上述 EXPLAIN 结果可知：

TiDB 认为需要访问所有分区 (p2016..pMax)。这是因为 TiDB 将谓词 YEAR（d）= 2017 视为 non-sargable。这个问题并非是 TiDB 特有的。
在扫描每个分区时，Selection 算子将筛选出年份不为 2017 的行。
在每个分区上会执行流式聚合，以计算匹配的行数。
└─PartitionUnion_21 算子会合并访问每个分区后的结果。
