Tasks
1. Search Documentation
- •For metric definitions: fetch the Query Profile Operator Metrics page first
- •For bottleneck patterns: fetch the Query Profile Tuning Recipes page
- •For optimizer/planning questions: fetch the Query Planning page
- •Use WebSearch for broader StarRocks documentation if needed
2. Explain the Metric/Concept
Provide:
- •Definition: What the metric measures
- •Units: Time (ns/us/ms/s), bytes, rows, count
- •Location: CommonMetrics vs UniqueMetrics, which operator types have it
- •Interpretation: What high/low values indicate
3. Performance Context
If relevant, explain:
- •Bottleneck patterns: What issues this metric can reveal
- •Related metrics: Other metrics to check alongside
- •Optimization tips: How to improve if values are problematic
4. NorthStar Integration
Check if this metric is already displayed in NorthStar:
- •Search
js/scanRender.jsfor scan-related metrics - •Search
js/joinRender.jsfor join-related metrics - •If not displayed, suggest whether it should be added
Common Metric Categories
Scan Operator Metrics
- •Time:
ScanTime,IOTaskExecTime,IOTaskWaitTime,SegmentInit,SegmentRead - •Rows:
RawRowsRead,RowsRead,PullRowNum, filter metrics (ZoneMapIndexFilterRows, etc.) - •I/O:
BytesRead,CompressedBytesRead,IOTime
Join Operator Metrics
- •Build:
BuildHashTableTime,HashTableMemoryUsage,RowsSpilled - •Probe:
SearchHashTableTime,ProbeConjunctEvaluateTime
Common Bottleneck Patterns
- •Cold storage: High
IOTaskExecTime+BytesRead - •Thread starvation: High
IOTaskWaitTime+ lowPeakIOTasks - •Data skew: Large gap between
__MAX_OF_*and__MIN_OF_* - •Fragmentation: High
RowsetsReadCount/SegmentsReadCount+ longSegmentInit - •Missing filter pushdown:
