Performance through Caching
Azure Storage

Reserved.
Query
Profiler•Processing — time spent on data processing by the CPU.
•Local Disk IO — time when the processing was blocked by local disk access.
•Remote Disk IO — time when the processing was blocked by remote disk access.
•Network Communication — time when the processing was waiting for the network data
transfer.
•Synchronization — various synchronization activities between participating processes.
•Initialization — time spent setting up the query processing.
•IO — information about the input-output operations performed during the query:
• Scan progress — the percentage of data scanned for a given table so far.
• Bytes scanned — the number of bytes scanned so far.
• Percentage scanned from cache — the percentage of data scanned from the local disk
cache.
• Bytes written — bytes written (e.g. when loading into a table).
• Bytes written to result — bytes written to a result object.
• Bytes read from result — bytes read from a result object.
• External bytes scanned — bytes read from an external object, e.g. a stage.
•DML — statistics for Data Manipulation Language (DML) queries:
• Number of rows inserted — number of rows inserted into a table (or tables).
• Number of rows updated — number of rows updated in a table.
• Number of rows deleted — number of rows deleted from a table.
• Number of rows unloaded — number of rows unloaded during data export.
• Number of bytes deleted — number of bytes deleted from a table.
•Pruning — information on the effects of table pruning:
• Partitions scanned — number of partitions scanned so far.
• Partitions total — total number of partitions in a given table.
•Spilling — information about disk usage for operations where intermediate results do not fit in memory:
• Bytes spilled to local storage — volume of data spilled to local disk.
• Bytes spilled to remote storage — volume of data spilled to remote disk.
•Network — network communication:
• Bytes sent over the network — amount of data sent over the network.
•EXECUTION TIME
•STATISTICS
