Explanation:

• The root iterator of this query plan is a RECEIVE iterator with a single child (input iterator) that is a SELECT iterator.

• The value of the FROM field is an iterator; in this case, it is a TABLE iterator.

• The primary key index is used and the index is not covering ( as you need to scan the table to fetch columns other than the index entries).

• The FROM variable is the name of a variable ranging over the records produced by the FROM iterator. Here the FROM iterator is a TABLE iterator, and the FROM variable ($$bag) is the same as the row variable of the TABLE iterator, as the index used is not covering.

• In the SELECT expression two fields (fullname,bag.bagInfo[].routing) are fetched. These correspond to two field names and field expressions in the SELECT expression clause. For the first field, the field expression is computed using FIELD_STEP iterator. For the second field, an ARRAY_CONSTRUCTOR iterator is used which iterates over the corresponding array to fetch the field value.
