So we still need to keep one segment to construct the TransformOperator in order to get all column types. No actual data fetch is required for that single segment. > > @Jackie-Jiang Since we don't enforce schema to be same across segments, wouldn't it be better to have a Schema based operator (perhaps fall back to segment if schema not registered)? @mayankshriv Ideally `LIMIT 0` query should be able to be solved on broker side (where the Schema based operator should be added), but that is out of the scope of this PR. Once we enforce schema, we can add that to avoid the routing overhead. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
