### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? In scalar aggregation queries, the result is always a single row. As a result, applying a LIMIT operator above the Aggregate operator has no effect unless the limit is set to 0. Therefore, I propose we can safely eliminate unnecessary LIMIT operators in scalar aggregation queries. For example, given a sql ``` sql select count(*) from t limit 10 ``` The `count` UDF always returns a single row and applying a `limit 10` is definitely unnecessary. However, the execution plan has a top `GlobalLimitExec` operator. ``` +---------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | plan_type | plan | +---------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | logical_plan | Limit: skip=0, fetch=10 | | | Aggregate: groupBy=[[]], aggr=[[count(Int64(1)) AS count(*)]] | | | TableScan: information_schema.tables projection=[] | | physical_plan | GlobalLimitExec: skip=0, fetch=10 | | | AggregateExec: mode=Final, gby=[], aggr=[count(*)] | | | CoalescePartitionsExec | | | AggregateExec: mode=Partial, gby=[], aggr=[count(*)] | | | RepartitionExec: partitioning=RoundRobinBatch(8), input_partitions=1 | | | StreamingTableExec: partition_sizes=1 | | | | +---------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ``` ### Describe the solution you'd like I think we can design an optimizer rule (logical or physical ??) , to eliminate such unnecessary LIMIT operators. ### Describe alternatives you've considered _No response_ ### Additional context _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
