we want to analysis the execution process of a query to see the time consumption on each shards, whether there is a longtai shards or not, and time consumption to fetch result from files on disks. The time we get from the profile API does not present the fetch result time and the execution time on each shards is not accurate. So i was wondering is there a way to get the query exection process timeline? so we can further analysis which part of the query tooks the most time. ---

As far as I know this is not possible. ---
