Adaptive partitioning and indexing for in situ query processing

Anastasia Ailamaki, Manolis Karpathiotakis, Ioannis Alagiannis, Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis, Matthaios Alexandros Olma

The constant flux of data and queries alike has been pushing the boundaries of data analysis systems. The increasing size of raw data files has made data loading an expensive operation that delays the data-to-insight time. To alleviate the loading cost, in ...

Online Updates on Data Warehouses via Judicious Use of Solid-State Storage

Anastasia Ailamaki, Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis, Radu Ioan Stoica

Data warehouses have been traditionally optimized for read-only query performance, allowing only offline updates at night, essentially trading off data freshness for performance. The need for 24x7 operations in global markets and the rise of online and oth ...

BF-Tree: Approximate Tree Indexing

Anastasia Ailamaki, Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis

The increasing volume of time-based generated data and the shift in storage technologies suggest that we might need to reconsider indexing. Several workloads - like social and service monitoring - often include attributes with implicit clustering because o ...

Sharing Data and Work Across Concurrent Analytical Queries

Anastasia Ailamaki, Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis, Iraklis Psaroudakis

Today's data deluge enables organizations to collect massive data, and analyze it with an ever-increasing number of concurrent queries. Traditional data warehouses (DW) face a challenging problem in executing this task, due to their query-centric model: ea ...

Querying Persistent Graphs using Solid State Storage

Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis

Recent advances in solid state technology have led to the introduction of Solid State Drives (SSDs). Todays SSDs store data persistently using NAND flash memory. While SSDs are more expensive than hard disks when measured in dollars per gigabyte, they are ...
