Worked on the apache/spark repository to enhance query optimization for null-aware anti-joins in Apache Spark, focusing on SQL and data processing with Scala. Developed a feature that restricts single-column null-aware anti-join optimization to cases where the right side is broadcastable, improving both planning efficiency and correctness. Updated adaptive query execution to be mode-aware for hashed broadcast exchanges, ensuring that null-aware anti-joins and regular joins are handled distinctly in mixed-nullability scenarios. Expanded regression and test coverage across multiple suites to validate these changes, demonstrating a methodical approach to improving query planning and execution reliability within Spark’s optimizer framework.
Month: 2026-05 focused on delivering a targeted SQL optimization and strengthening adaptive planning behavior in Apache Spark. Implemented a feature: Query Optimizer Enhancement for Null-aware Anti-Joins, restricting the single-column null-aware anti-join optimization to cases where the right side is broadcastable, improving planning efficiency and correctness (commit 7090c70cfef341649b46126da49cc2e40971c7d0; SPARK-36082). Also updated adaptive query execution to be mode-aware for hashed broadcast exchanges, so null-aware anti-joins reuse appropriate hashed relations and regular joins do not cross over, increasing correctness in mixed-nullability scenarios. These changes were accompanied by regression coverage and test suite expansions to validate behavior across the optimizer and adaptive execution layers (JoinSelectionHelperSuite, AdaptiveQueryExecSuite, SparkSessionExtensionSuite, and related SPARK-36082 tests).
