Substrait is a cross-language specification and tooling for describing data compute operations as standardized relational algebra query plans, with human-readable text and compact binary representations. It lets systems like SQL parsers, execution engines, and query optimizers exchange plans without custom integrations.
Use cases
- pass a query plan from a SQL parser to an execution engine
- serialize SQL views for consistent use across Spark and Trino
- submit the same plan to DataFusion and Postgres
- build a pluggable query plan visualizer
- run pandas-style compute inside another execution engine
- standardize plan interchange between query engines
When to choose
- you need interoperable query plans across multiple engines or languages
- you are building a SQL frontend or execution engine and want an open plan format
- you want to swap execution engines without rewriting plan generation
When to avoid
- you just need a single-engine query optimizer with no cross-system interchange
- you need a full SQL parser or execution engine rather than a plan format
- your systems already share a proprietary plan format and interoperability is not a goal
