Constructor Detail

IndexJoinPlan

public IndexJoinPlan(Plan p1,
                     Plan p2,
                     IndexInfo ii,
                     java.lang.String joinfield,
                     Transaction tx)

Implements the join operator, using the specified LHS and RHS plans.

Parameters:

p1 - the left-hand plan

p2 - the right-hand plan

ii - information about the right-hand index

joinfield - the left-hand field used for joining

tx - the calling transaction

Method Detail

open

public Scan open()

Opens an indexjoin scan for this query

Specified by:

open in interface Plan

Returns:

a scan

See Also:

Plan.open()

blocksAccessed

public int blocksAccessed()

Estimates the number of block accesses to compute the join. The formula is:

 B(indexjoin(p1,p2,idx)) = B(p1) + R(p1)*B(idx)
       + R(indexjoin(p1,p2,idx) 

Specified by:

blocksAccessed in interface Plan

Returns:

the estimated number of block accesses

See Also:

Plan.blocksAccessed()

recordsOutput

public int recordsOutput()

Estimates the number of output records in the join. The formula is:

 R(indexjoin(p1,p2,idx)) = R(p1)*R(idx) 

Specified by:

recordsOutput in interface Plan

Returns:

the estimated number of output records

See Also:

Plan.recordsOutput()

distinctValues

public int distinctValues(java.lang.String fldname)

Estimates the number of distinct values for the specified field.

Specified by:

distinctValues in interface Plan

Parameters:

fldname - the name of a field

Returns:

the estimated number of distinct field values in the output

See Also:

Plan.distinctValues(java.lang.String)

schema

public Schema schema()

Returns the schema of the index join.

Specified by:

schema in interface Plan

Returns:

the query's schema

See Also:

Plan.schema()
