             Summary: SQL: Full scan should be performed through data pages 
bypassing primary index
                 Key: IGNITE-6057
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-6057
             Project: Ignite
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: persistence, sql
    Affects Versions: 2.1
            Reporter: Vladimir Ozerov
             Fix For: 2.2


Currently both SQL full scan and {{CREATE INDEX}} commands iterate through 
primary index to get all existing values. Consider that we have 10 entries per 
data page on average. In this case we will have to read the same data page 10 
times when reaching relevant keys in different parts of index tree. This could 
be very inefficient on certain workloads.

We should iterate over data pages directly instead. This way a page with 10 
entries will be accessed only once. However, we should take cache groups in 
count - if there are too many entries from other logical caches, this approach 
could make situation even worse, unless we have a mechanism to skip unnecessary 
entries (or the whole pages!) efficiently.

Probably we should develop a cost-based model, which will take in count the 
following statistics:
1) Average entry size. The longer the entry, the lesser the benefit. Especially 
if overflow pages are used frequently. 
2) Cache groups. Ideally, we should estimate number of entries from all logical 
caches. The more entries from other caches, the lesser the benefit.
