LogicalPlanVisitor — Contract for Computing Statistic Estimates and Query Hints of Logical Plan¶

LogicalPlanVisitor is the <> that uses the <> to scan a logical query plan and compute estimates of plan statistics and query hints.

TIP: Read about the visitor design pattern in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visitor_pattern[Wikipedia].

[[visit]] LogicalPlanVisitor defines visit method that dispatches computing the statistics of a logical plan to the <>.

[source, scala]¶

visit(p: LogicalPlan): T¶

NOTE: T stands for the type of a result to be computed (while visiting the query plan tree) and is currently always Statistics only.

The <> LogicalPlanVisitor is chosen per cost-based-optimization/index.md#spark.sql.cbo.enabled[spark.sql.cbo.enabled] configuration property. When turned on (i.e. true), LogicalPlanStats uses <> while <> otherwise.
