# Visitor Pattern
Visitor Pattern is used in segcore for parse and execute Execution Plan.
1. Inside `${core}/src/query/PlanNode.h`, contains physical plan for vector search:
1. `FloatVectorANNS` FloatVector search execution node
2. `BinaryVectorANNS` BinaryVector search execution node
2. `${core}/src/query/Expr.h` contains physical plan for scalar expression:
1. `TermExpr` support operation like `col in [1, 2, 3]`
2. `RangeExpr` support constant compare with data column like `a >= 5` `1 < b < 2`
3. `CompareExpr` support compare with different columns, like `a < b`
4. `LogicalBinaryExpr` support and/or
5. `LogicalUnaryExpr` support not
Currently, under `${core/query/visitors}` directory, there are the following visitors:
1. `ShowPlanNodeVisitor` prints PlanNode in json
2. `ShowExprVisitor` Expr -> json
3. `Verify...Visitor` validates ...
4. `ExtractInfo...Visitor` extracts info from..., including involved_fields and else
5. `ExecExprVisitor` generates bitmask according to expression
6. `ExecPlanNodeVistor` physical plan executor only supports ANNS node for now
