MDEV-30660 Aggregation functions fail to leverage uniqueness property
When executing a statement of the form SELECT AGGR_FN(DISTINCT c1, c2,..,cn) FROM t1, where AGGR_FN is an aggregate function such as COUNT(), AVG() or SUM(), and a unique index exists on table t1 covering some or all of the columns (c1, c2,..,cn), the retrieved values are inherently unique. Consequently, the need for de-duplication imposed by the DISTINCT clause can be eliminated, leading to optimization of aggregation operations. This optimization applies under the following conditions: - only one table involved in the join (not counting const tables) - some arguments of the aggregate function are fields (not functions/subqueries) This optimization extends to queries of the form SELECT AGGR_FN(c1, c2,..,cn) GROUP BY cx,..cy when a unique index covers some or all of the columns (c1, c2,..cn, cx,..cy)
