Detailed Description

StreamingIterator is a minimal version of MaterializeIterator that does not actually materialize; instead, every Read() just forwards the call to the subquery iterator and does the required copying from one set of fields to another.

It is used for when the optimizer would normally set up a materialization, but you don't actually need one, ie. you don't want to read the rows multiple times after writing them, and you don't want to access them by index (only a single table scan). It also takes care of setting the NULL row flag on the temporary table.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

StreamingIterator()

StreamingIterator::StreamingIterator	(	THD *	thd,
		unique_ptr_destroy_only< RowIterator >	subquery_iterator,
		Temp_table_param *	temp_table_param,
		TABLE *	table,
		bool	provide_rowid,
		JOIN *	join,
		int	ref_slice
	)

Parameters

thd	Thread handle.
subquery_iterator	The iterator to read rows from.
temp_table_param	Parameters for the temp table.
table	The table we are streaming through. Will never actually be written to, but its fields will be used.
provide_rowid	If true, generate a row ID for each row we stream. This is used if the parent needs row IDs for deduplication, in particular weedout.
join	See MaterializeIterator.
ref_slice	See MaterializeIterator.

Member Function Documentation

EndPSIBatchModeIfStarted()

void StreamingIterator::EndPSIBatchModeIfStarted ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Ends performance schema batch mode, if started.

It's always safe to call this.

Iterators that have children (composite iterators) must forward the EndPSIBatchModeIfStarted() call to every iterator they could conceivably have called StartPSIBatchMode() on. This ensures that after such a call to on the root iterator, all handlers are out of batch mode.

Reimplemented from RowIterator.

Init()

bool StreamingIterator::Init ( )

overridevirtual

Initialize or reinitialize the iterator.

You must always call Init() before trying a Read() (but Init() does not imply Read()).

You can call Init() multiple times; subsequent calls will rewind the iterator (or reposition it, depending on whether the iterator takes in e.g. a Index_lookup) and allow you to read the records anew.

Implements RowIterator.

Read()

int StreamingIterator::Read ( )

overridevirtual

Read a single row.

The row data is not actually returned from the function; it is put in the table's (or tables', in case of a join) record buffer, ie., table->records[0].

Return values

0	OK
-1	End of records
1	Error

Implements RowIterator.

StartPSIBatchMode()

void StreamingIterator::StartPSIBatchMode ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Start performance schema batch mode, if supported (otherwise ignored).

PFS batch mode is a mitigation to reduce the overhead of performance schema, typically applied at the innermost table of the entire join. If you start it before scanning the table and then end it afterwards, the entire set of handler calls will be timed only once, as a group, and the costs will be distributed evenly out. This reduces timer overhead.

If you start PFS batch mode, you must also take care to end it at the end of the scan, one way or the other. Do note that this is true even if the query ends abruptly (LIMIT is reached, or an error happens). The easiest workaround for this is to simply call EndPSIBatchModeIfStarted() on the root iterator at the end of the scan. See the PFSBatchMode class for a useful helper.

The rules for starting batch and ending mode are:

1. If you are an iterator with exactly one child (FilterIterator etc.), forward any StartPSIBatchMode() calls to it.
2. If you drive an iterator (read rows from it using a for loop or similar), use PFSBatchMode as described above.
3. If you have multiple children, ignore the call and do your own handling of batch mode as appropriate. For materialization, #2 would typically apply. For joins, it depends on the join type (e.g., NestedLoopIterator applies batch mode only when scanning the innermost table).

The upshot of this is that when scanning a single table, batch mode will typically be activated for that table (since we call StartPSIBatchMode() on the root iterator, and it will trickle all the way down to the table iterator), but for a join, the call will be ignored and the join iterator will activate batch mode by itself as needed.

Reimplemented from RowIterator.

UnlockRow()

void StreamingIterator::UnlockRow ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Implements RowIterator.
