What problem does this PR solve?

Problem Summary:

Right now the cost factor of only-group-by (always transformed from select distinct ....) statements is 1.0, leading to not pushing down agg in pseodu stats senerios. However, the cost factor is not reasonable to set 1.0 while the first-row's cost factor is only 0.1. This results in some unexpected behaviours, such as:

It's hard to say which one is better because of the lack of stats info. But at least keeping same behaviours will not cause perils. In some MPP senarios, such as every complicated sql, the plans closer to the root (TiDB) might miss the stats info and choose 1-phase aggregation. Considering 2-phase agg is better than 1-phase in most cases, I think this change is beneficial.

However, we still need some experiments and reliable tests to calibrate the cost factors. This work should be done in the near future.

What is changed and how it works?

What's Changed:
change the factor of only-group-by agg from 1.0 to 0.1, which is same as first-row.

Tests

  • Unit test. Over 100 lines of relavent tests are changed. Some tests involed with in-subquery will generate a "distinct" group by. I have checked the test changes and made sure they are safe.

Release note

  • planner/core: change agg cost factor
