The growing popularity of the JSON format has fueled increased interest in loading and processing JSON data within analytical data processing systems. However, in many applications, JSON parsing dominates performance and cost. In this paper, we present a new JSON parser called Mison that is particularly tailored to this class ...

Verifying the integrity of outsourced data is a classic, well-studied problem. However current techniques have fundamental performance and concurrency limitations for update-heavy workloads. In this paper, we investigate the potential advantages of deferred and batched verification rather than the per-operation verification used in prior work. We present Concerto , a ...

This paper presents ParTime, a parallel algorithm for temporal aggregation. Temporal aggregation is one of the most important, yet most complex temporal query operators. It has been extensively studied in the past, but so far there has only been one attempt to parallelize this operator. ParTime supports data parallelism and ...

Database architectures typically process queries one-at-a-time, executing concurrent queries in independent execution contexts. Often, such a design leads to unpredictable performance and poor scalability. One approach to circumvent the problem is to take advantage of sharing opportunities across concurrently running queries. In this paper we propose Many-Query Join (MQJoin), a ...

Business rule management is the task of storing and maintaining company-specific decision rules and business logic that is queried frequently by application users. These rules can impede efficient query processing when they require the business rule engine to resolve semantic hierarchies. To address this problem, this work discusses hierarchical indexes ...

Database scale-out is commonly implemented by partitioning data across several database instances. This approach, however, has several restrictions. In particular, partitioned databases are inflexible in large-scale deployments and assume a partition-friendly workload in order to scale. In this paper, we analyze an alternative architecture design for distributed relational databases that ...

Modern data-centric flows in the telecommunications industry require real time analytical processing over a rapidly changing and large dataset. The traditional approach of separating OLTP and OLAP workloads cannot satisfy this requirement. Instead, a new class of integrated solutions for handling hybrid workloads is needed. This paper presents an industrial ...

Database systems running on a cluster of machines, i.e. rack-scale databases, are a common architecture for many large databases and data appliances. As the data movement across machines is often a significant bottleneck, these systems typically use a low-latency, high-throughput network such as InfiniBand. To achieve the necessary performance, parallel ...

Modern database systems employ Snapshot Isolation to implement concurrency control and isolationbecause it promises superior query performance compared to lock-based alternatives. Furthermore, Snapshot Isolation never blocks readers, which is an important property for modern information systems, which have mixed workloads of heavy OLAP queries and short update transactions. This paper ...

An elastic and highly available data store is a key component of many cloud applications. Existing data stores with strong consistency guarantees are designed and optimized for small updates, key-value access, and (if supported) small range queries over a predefined key column. This raises performance and availability problems for applications ...

As a result of increases in both the query load and the data managed, as well as changes in hardware architecture (multicore), the last years have seen a shift from query-at-a-time approaches towards shared work (SW) systems where queries are executed in groups. Such groups share operators like scans and ...
