9.23. EXPLAIN#

Synopsis#

EXPLAIN [ ( option [, ...] ) ] statement

where option can be one of:

    FORMAT { TEXT | GRAPHVIZ | JSON }
    TYPE { LOGICAL | DISTRIBUTED | VALIDATE | IO }

Description#

Show the logical or distributed execution plan of a statement, or validate the statement. The distributed plan is shown by default. Each plan fragment of the distributed plan is executed by a single or multiple Presto nodes. Fragments separation represent the data exchange between Presto nodes. Fragment type specifies how the fragment is executed by Presto nodes and how the data is distributed between fragments:

SINGLE
Fragment is executed on a single node.
HASH
Fragment is executed on a fixed number of nodes with the input data distributed using a hash function.
ROUND_ROBIN
Fragment is executed on a fixed number of nodes with the input data distributed in a round-robin fashion.
BROADCAST
Fragment is executed on a fixed number of nodes with the input data broadcasted to all nodes.
SOURCE
Fragment is executed on nodes where input splits are accessed.
