Description

To reproduce

When running queries, query progress is reported using a pair of exe and fin statements. Unfortunately, the jit label is not implemented correctly.

This means you can start a query with no JIT, but finish it with JIT.

2025-04-22T15:01:01.433405Z I i.q.g.e.QueryProgress exe [id=837, sql=`tab where col1 in ($1) and status = $2 and ts >= 0 latest on ts partition by status `, principal=admin, cache=true, jit=false]
2025-04-22T15:01:01.433538Z I i.q.g.e.QueryProgress fin [id=837, sql=`tab where col1 in ($1) and status = $2 and ts >= 0 latest on ts partition by status `, principal=admin, cache=true, jit=true, time=135800]

This is because logStart accepts a boolean jit argument. This is populated by checking if the query uses a compiled filter.

However, logEnd and logError do not have this. Instead, they report whether or not jit is enabled globally:

boolean isJit = executionContext.getJitMode() != SqlJitMode.JIT_MODE_DISABLED;

This leads to confusing logs.

Research direction

Locate the query-progress logging code containing logStart, logEnd, and logError, then trace how the compiled-filter JIT value is determined for each statement. Compare the exe and fin output for the reproduction query, and consider the issue done when all corresponding log entries report the query's actual JIT state consistently.
