What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #11092

Problem Summary

The skip-probe optimization introduced in #11001 lets Inner/Semi/RightSemi joins with an empty build side skip reading the probe input entirely. However, when the probe input comes from anExchangeReceiver (remote MPP tasks or local self-exchange), skipping the probe terminates the receiver while remote senders are still transmitting data. The senders then fail with "tunnel already closed" errors, which cascades into task cancellation and complicated query states. Notably, two existing tests from #11001 (EmptyBuildRightSemiJoinSkipsProbe /BuildWithOnlyNullKeysRightSemiJoinSkipsProbe ) had already constructed exactly this scenario (probe = exchange receiver + empty build); the mock environment simply never exposed the failure.

What is changed and how it works

The skip-probe optimization is now restricted to local probe inputs:

  • AddedPhysicalPlanNode::subtreeContainsExchangeReceiver() , which recursively checks during plan building whether a subtree contains anExchangeReceiver (orMockExchangeReceiver ) node.
  • PhysicalJoin (both the pipeline path and the legacy BlockInputStream path) andPhysicalJoinV2::buildPipeline calljoin->setLocalProbeSource(!probe()->subtreeContainsExchangeReceiver()) while building the probe pipeline.
  • Join::shouldSkipProbe() /HashJoin::shouldSkipProbe() now requirelocal_probe_source to be true; it defaults tofalse so any future execution path that forgets to set it stays on the safe side (optimization silently disabled instead of failing remote senders).
  • Local probe sources (table scans, incl. cop mode) keep the optimization; probe inputs from an exchange receiver fall back to the pre-executor: skip probe for empty hash joins #11001 behavior: the probe side is fully consumed, receivers drain all data, and remote senders finish cleanly.
    Judging on the plan tree instead of the runtime source op makes the check independent of executor shapes (ConcatSourceOp wrapping, SharedQueue, multi-builder concurrency) and unifies both execution paths with a single predicate.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change detects exchange receivers in physical plan subtrees, records whether join probe sources are local, and disables empty-build probe skipping for remote probe inputs. Tests cover plan detection and exchange probe consumption.

Changes

PhysicalPlanNode recursively detects ExchangeReceiver and MockExchangeReceiver nodes. Planner tests cover nested, local, probe, and build subtrees.
Join skip-probe gating
dbms/src/Interpreters/Join.h, dbms/src/Interpreters/JoinV2/HashJoin.h
Join implementations store local_probe_source and require it before skipping probes for empty build sides.

Use camelCase for the new variable names.

The new is_local parameter and local_probe_source member use snake_case. The C++ guidelines require camelCase for variables. Rename them to isLocal and localProbeSource, then update the shouldSkipProbe() read.

Proposed rename
-    void setLocalProbeSource(bool is_local) { local_probe_source = is_local; }
+    void setLocalProbeSource(bool isLocal) { localProbeSource = isLocal; }

-        return local_probe_source && can_skip_probe && build_side_empty.load(std::memory_order_acquire);
+        return localProbeSource && can_skip_probe && build_side_empty.load(std::memory_order_acquire);

-    bool local_probe_source = false;
+    bool localProbeSource = false;

🟡 Minor · Propagate local_probe_source when creating the restore Join. · Join.h:466-470

dbms/src/Interpreters/Join.h:466-470
🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Propagate local_probe_source when creating the restore Join. PhysicalJoin marks local probe sources as true and exchange-backed sources as false. However, Join::createRestoreJoin creates a replacement Join without copying this state, so it defaults to false. For a local spilled eligible join whose restored build is empty, the restore probe cannot take Join::shouldSkipProbe()'s empty-build fast path and performs unnecessary restore/probe work. Copy the original local_probe_source value to the restore Join; this keeps exchange-backed restores false. The normal probe path still preserves results, so this is a performance issue rather than a correctness failure.

@coderabbitai Thanks for the review. Responses to the findings:

1. setLocalProbeSource parameter rename (Join.h:262, HashJoin.h:83) — accepted.
Renamed is_local to isLocal in 74a11a6.

2. Member rename local_probe_sourcelocalProbeSource — not applied.
Keeping the member in snake_case to stay consistent with the adjacent build_side_empty and other members in Join.h / HashJoin.h (e.g. total_input_build_rows, active_build_worker, has_build_data_in_memory). Mixing a camelCase member into this region would create local inconsistency.

3. Propagate local_probe_source in Join::createRestoreJoin — intentionally not propagated.
Restore joins are part of the spill workflow, and #11001 deliberately excludes spilled joins from the skip-probe fast path (build_side_empty requires !isSpilled(), see EmptyHashTableAfterSpillStillReadsProbe in gtest_spill_join.cpp). Restore probes also consume spill-restored probe partitions (probe_partition_blocks / hasProbeSideMarkedSpillData), which skipping would bypass. Since local_probe_source defaults to false, the restore join stays on the safe side by design; the potential win is limited to the rare combination of a local probe, a spilled build, and a restore partition that ends up empty.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@ChangRui-Ryan Thanks for the detailed responses.

The isLocal parameter rename addresses the first finding.

I agree that local_probe_source matches the surrounding member naming style.

I also agree that restore joins must keep local_probe_source at its safe default. The spill workflow must consume restored probe partitions. The skip-probe path must not bypass that work.

Learning: In `dbms/src/Interpreters/Join.h`, `local_probe_source` must remain false for restore joins created by `Join::createRestoreJoin`. Restore joins are part of the spill workflow, and skip-probe must remain disabled because restored probe partitions in `probe_partition_blocks` or marked by `hasProbeSideMarkedSpillData` must be consumed. `build_side_empty` also excludes spilled joins through `!isSpilled()`.
