Hi,

I wanted to understand if there is any performance difference between count(*) and count(column_name) while querying a Pinot Table.
We have 60 dimension columns and each of them has an inverted index.

From my understanding, in a columnar store, count(*) is an expensive operation. But does having the inverted index mitigate the performance issues?

There is no difference in performance between count(*) and count(column)
