Distributed Query Processing Agenda • • • • Recap of query optimization Transformation rules for P&D systems Memoization Queries in heterogenous systems • Query evaluation strategies • Eddies • Open-ended and stream-based queries Introduction • Alternative ways of evaluating a given query – Equivalent expressions – Different algorithms for each operation (Chapter 13) • Cost difference between a good and a bad way of evaluating a query can be enormous – Example: performing a r X s followed by a selection r.A = s.B is much slower than performing a join on the same condition • Need to estimate the cost of operations – Depends critically on statistical information about relations which the database must maintain – Need to estimate statistics for intermediate results to compute cost of complex expressions Introduction (Cont.) Relations generated by two equivalent expressions have the same set of attributes and contain the same set of tuples, although their attributes may be ordered differently. Introduction (Cont.) • Generation of query-evaluation plans for an expression involves several steps: 1. Generating logically equivalent expressions • Use equivalence rules to transform an expression into an equivalent one. 2. Annotating resultant expressions to get alternative query plans 3. Choosing the cheapest plan based on estimated cost • The overall process is called cost based optimization. Equivalence Rules 1. Conjunctive selection operations can be deconstructed into a sequence of individual selections. ( E ) ( ( E )) 2. Selection operations are commutative. 1 2 1 2 ( ( E )) ( ( E )) 1 2 2 1 3. Only the last in a sequence of projection operations is needed, the others can be omitted. t1 (t2 ((tn (E )))) t1 (E ) 4. Selections can be combined with Cartesian products and theta joins. a. (E1 X E2) = E1 E2 b. 1(E1 2 E2) = E1 1 2 E2 Equivalence Rules (Cont.) 5. Theta-join operations (and natural joins) are commutative. E1 E2 = E2 E1 6. (a) Natural join operations are associative: (E1 E2) E3 = E1 (E2 E3) (b) Theta joins are associative in the following manner: (E1 1 E2) 2 3 E3 = E1 2 3 (E2 2 E3) where 2 involves attributes from only E2 and E3. Pictorial Depiction of Equivalence Rules Equivalence Rules (Cont.) 7. The selection operation distributes over the theta join operation under the following two conditions: (a) When all the attributes in 0 involve only the attributes of one of the expressions (E1) being joined. 0E1 E2) = (0(E1)) E2 (b) When 1 involves only the attributes of E1 and 2 involves only the attributes of E2. 1 E1 E2) = (1(E1)) ( (E2)) Equivalence Rules (Cont.) 8. The projections operation distributes over the theta join operation as follows: (a) if involves only attributes from L1 L2: L1 L2 ( E1....... E2 ) ( L1 ( E1 ))...... ( L2 ( E2 )) (b) Consider a join E1 E2. – Let L1 and L2 be sets of attributes from E1 and E2, respectively. – Let L3 be attributes of E1 that are involved in join condition , but are not in L1 L2, and – let L4 be attributes of E2 that are involved in join condition , but are not in L1 L2. L1 L2 ( E1..... E2 ) L1 L2 (( L1 L3 ( E1 ))...... ( L2 L4 ( E2 ))) Equivalence Rules (Cont.) 9. The set operations union and intersection are commutative E1 E2 = E2 E1 E1 E2 = E2 E1 (set difference is not commutative). 10. Set union and intersection are associative. (E1 E2) E3 = E1 (E2 E3) (E1 E2) E3 = E1 (E2 E3) 11. The selection operation distributes over , and –. (E1 – E2) = (E1) – (E2) and similarly for and in place of – Also: (E1 – E2) = (E1) – E2 and similarly for in place of –, but not for 12. The projection operation distributes over union L(E1 E2) = (L(E1)) (L(E2)) Multiple Transformations (Cont.) Optimizer strategies • Heuristic – Apply the transformation rules in a specific order such that the cost converges to a minimum • Cost based – Simulated annealing – Randomized generation of candidate QEP – Problem, how to guarantee randomness Memoization Techniques • How to generate alternative Query Evaluation Plans? – Early generation systems centred around a tree representation of the plan – Hardwired tree rewriting rules are deployed to enumerate part of the space of possible QEP – For each alternative the total cost is determined – The best (alternatives) are retained for execution – Problems: very large space to explore, duplicate plans, local maxima, expensive query cost evaluation. – SQL Server optimizer contains about 300 rules to be deployed. Memoization Techniques • How to generate alternative Query Evaluation Plans? – Keep a memo of partial QEPs and their cost. – Use the heuristic rules to generate alternatives to built more complex QEPs – r1 r2 r3 r4 r4 r3 r2 r1 r1 r2 Level n plans Level 2 plans r3 r2 r3 r3 r4 x r1 r4 Level 1 plans Distributed Query Processing • For centralized systems, the primary criterion for measuring the cost of a particular strategy is the number of disk accesses. • In a distributed system, other issues must be taken into account: – The cost of a data transmission over the network. – The potential gain in performance from having several sites process parts of the query in parallel. Transformation rules for distributed systems • Primary horizontally fragmented table: – Rule 9: The union is commutative E1 E2 = E2 E1 – Rule 10: Set union is associative. (E1 E2) E3 = E1 (E2 E3) – Rule 12: The projection operation distributes over union L(E1 E2) = (L(E1)) (L(E2)) • Derived horizontally fragmented table: – The join through foreign-key dependency is already reflected in the fragmentation criteria Transformation rules for distributed systems Vertical fragmented tables: – Rules: Hint look at projection rules Optimization in Par & Distr • Cost model is changed!!! – Network transport is a dominant cost factor • The facilities for query processing are not homogenous distributed – Light-resource systems form a bottleneck – Need for dynamic load scheduling Simple Distributed Join Processing • Consider the following relational algebra expression in which the three relations are neither replicated nor fragmented account depositor branch • • • • account is stored at site S1 depositor at S2 branch at S3 For a query issued at site SI, the system needs to produce the result at site SI Possible Query Processing Strategies • Ship copies of all three relations to site SI and choose a strategy for processing the entire locally at site SI. • Ship a copy of the account relation to site S2 and compute temp1 = account depositor at S2. Ship temp1 from S2 to S3, and compute temp2 = temp1 branch at S3. Ship the result temp2 to SI. • Devise similar strategies, exchanging the roles S1, S2, S3 • Must consider following factors: – amount of data being shipped – cost of transmitting a data block between sites – relative processing speed at each site Semijoin Strategy • Let r1 be a relation with schema R1 stores at site S1 Let r2 be a relation with schema R2 stores at site S2 • Evaluate the expression r1 r2 and obtain the result at S1. 1. Compute temp1 R1 R2 (r1) at S1. 2. Ship temp1 from S1 to S2. 3. Compute temp2 r2 temp1 at S2 4. Ship temp2 from S2 to S1. 5. Compute r1 temp2 at S1. This is the same as r1 r2. Formal Definition • The semijoin of r1 with r2, is denoted by: r1 r2 • it is defined by: R1 (r1 r2 ) • Thus, r1 r2 selects those tuples of r1 that contributed to r1 r2. • In step 3 above, temp2=r2 r1. • For joins of several relations, the above strategy can be extended to a series of semijoin steps. Join Strategies that Exploit Parallelism • Consider r1 r2 r3 r4 where relation ri is stored at site Si. The result must be presented at site S1. • r1 is shipped to S2 and r1 r2 is computed at S2: simultaneously r3 is shipped to S4 and r3 r4 is computed at S4 • S2 ships tuples of (r1 S4 ships tuples of (r3 r2) to S1 as they produced; r4) to S1 • Once tuples of (r1 r2) and (r3 r4) arrive at S1 (r1 r2) (r3 r4) is computed in parallel with the computation of (r1 r2) at S2 and the computation of (r3 r4) at S4. Query plan generation • Apers-Aho-Hopcroft – Hill-climber, repeatedly split the multi-join query in fragments and optimize its subqueries independently • Apply centralized algorithms and rely on cost-model to avoid expensive query execution plans. Query evaluators Query evaluation strategy • Pipe-line query evaluation strategy – Called Volcano query processing model – Standard in commercial systems and MySQL • Basic algorithm: – Demand-driven evaluation of query tree. – Operators exchange data in units such as records – Each operator supports the following interfaces:– open, next, close • open() at top of tree results in cascade of opens down the tree. • An operator getting a next() call may recursively make next() calls from within to produce its next answer. • close() at top of tree results in cascade of close down the tree Query evaluation strategy • Pipe-line query evaluation strategy – Evaluation: • Oriented towards OLTP applications – Granule size of data interchange • Items produced one at a time • No temporary files – Choice of intermediate buffer size allocations • Query executed as one process • Generic interface, sufficient to add the iterator primitives for the new containers. • CPU intensive • Amenable to parallelization Query evaluation strategy • Materialized evaluation strategy – Used in MonetDB – Basic algorithm: • for each relational operator produce the complete intermediate result using materialized operands – Evaluation: • Oriented towards decision support queries • Limited internal administration and dependencies • Basis for multi-query optimization strategy • Memory intensive • Amendable for distributed/parallel processing Heterogenous databases • How to process queries in a heterogenous environment? – Databases on several sites without global model – How to query eBay with SQL Heterogeneous Distributed Databases • Many database applications require data from a variety of preexisting databases located in a heterogeneous collection of hardware and software platforms • Data models may differ (hierarchical, relational , etc.) • Transaction commit protocols may be incompatible • Concurrency control may be based on different techniques (locking, timestamping, etc.) • System-level details almost certainly are totally incompatible. • A multidatabase system is a software layer on top of existing database systems, which is designed to manipulate information in heterogeneous databases – Creates an illusion of logical database integration without any physical database integration Advantages • Preservation of investment in existing – Hardware, system software, Applications • Local autonomy and administrative control • Allows use of special-purpose DBMSs • Step towards a unified homogeneous DBMS – Full integration into a homogeneous DBMS faces • Technical difficulties and cost of conversion • Organizational/political difficulties – Organizations do not want to give up control on their data – Local databases wish to retain a great deal of autonomy Unified View of Data • Agreement on a common data model – Typically the relational model • Agreement on a common conceptual schema – Different names for same relation/attribute – Same relation/attribute name means different things • Agreement on a single representation of shared data – E.g. data types, precision, – Character sets • ASCII vs EBCDIC • Sort order variations • Agreement on units of measure • Variations in names – E.g. Köln vs Cologne, Mumbai vs Bombay Query Processing • Schema translation – Write a wrapper for each data source to translate data to a global schema – Wrappers must also translate updates on global schema to updates on local schema • Limited query capabilities – Some data sources allow only restricted forms of selections • E.g. web forms, flat file data sources – Queries have to be broken up and processed partly at the source and partly at a different site • Removal of duplicate information when sites have overlapping information – Decide which sites to execute query • Global query optimization is limited Eddies: Continuously Adaptive Query processing R. Avnur, J.M. Hellerstein UCB ACM Sigmod 2000 Problem Statement • Context: large federated and shared-nothing databases • Problem: assumptions made at query optimization rarely hold during execution • Hypothesis: do away with traditional optimizers, solve it thru adaptation • Focus: scheduling in a tuple-based pipeline query execution model Problem Statement Refinement • Large scale systems are unpredictable, because – Hardware and workload complexity, • bursty servers & networks, heterogenity, hardware characteristics – Data complexity, • Federated database often come without proper statistical summaries – User Interface Complexity • Online aggregation may involve user ‘control’ The Idea • Relational algebra operators consume a stream from multiple sources to produce a new stream • A priori you don’t now how selective- how fast- tuples are consumed/produced • You have to adapt continuously and learn this information on the fly • Adapt the order of processing based on these lessons The Idea JOIN next next JOIN JOIN next next next next The Idea • Standard method: derive a spanning tree over the query graph • Pre-optimize a query plan to determine operator pairs and their algorithm, e.g. to exploit access paths • Re-optimization a query pipeline on the fly requires careful state management, coupled with – Synchronization barriers • Operators have widely differing arrival rates for their operands – This limits concurrency, e.g. merge-join algorithm – Moments of symmetry • Algorithm provides option to exchange the role of the operands without too much complications – E.g switching the role of R and S in a nested-loop join Nested-loop R s Join and sorting • Index-joins are asymmetric, you can not easily change their role – Combine index-join + operands as a unit in the process • Sorting requires look-ahead – Merge-joins are combined into unit • Ripple joins – Break the space into smaller pieces and solve the join operation for each piece individually – The piece crossings are moments of symmetry The Idea JOIN Tuple buffer JOIN next JOIN next next next Eddie next next next next Rivers and Eddies Eddies are tuple routers that distribute arriving tuples to interested operators – What are efficient scheduling policies? • Fixed strategy? Random ? Learning? Static Eddies • Delivery of tuples to operators can be hardwired in the Eddie to reflect a traditional query execution plan Naïve Eddie • Operators are delivered tuples based on a priority queue • Intermediate results get highest priority to avoid buffer congestion Observations for selections • Extended priority queue for the operators – Receiving a tuple leads to a credit increment – Returning a tuple leads to a credit decrement – Priority is determined by “weighted lottery” • Naïve Eddies exhibit back pressure in the tuple flow; production is limited by the rate of consumption at the output • Lottery Eddies approach the cost of optimal ordering, without a need to a priory determine the order • Lottery Eddies outperform heuristics – Hash-use first, or Index-use first, Naive Observations • The dynamics during a run can be controlled by a learning scheme – Split the processing in steps (‘windows’) to re-adjust the weight during tuple delivery • Initial delays can not be handled efficiently • Research challenges: – Better learning algorithms to adjust flow – Aggressive adjustments – Remove pre-optimization – Balance ‘hostile’ parallel environment – Deploy eddies to control degree of partitioning (and replication) Database streams: You only get one chance to look Prof. Dr. Martin Kersten CWI Amsterdam March 2003 Database research topic list • • • • • • • • • Indexing, Access methods, data structures Query/transaction processing and optimization Distributed, heterogeneous, mobile databases View maintenance/materialisation Mining data, text, and web Semi-structured data, metadata and XML Temporal, Spatial, Scientific, Statistical, Biological DB Data warehousing and OLAP Middleware, Workflow and Security HOT: XML, Semantic Web, P2P, Streams, Biological Outline • Introduction to Data Streaming Management System (DSMS) • A reference architecture for a DSMS • Grouping thousands of user queries • Merging and abstraction of streams • Conclusions The tranquil database scene • Traditional DBMS – data stored in finite, persistent data sets, SQL-based applications to manage and access it Data entry application OLTP-web application RDBMS ‘Ad-hoc’ reporting The tranquil database scene • The user community grows and MANY wants up-to-thesecond (aggregate) information from the database Data entry application OLTP-web application ‘Ad-hoc’ reporting RDBMS Informed reporting The tranquil database scene • Database entry is taken over by a remote device which issues a high-volume of update transactions Data entry application Dataentry application OLTP-web application ‘Ad-hoc’ reporting RDBMS Informed reporting The tranquil database scene • Database entry is taken over by MANY remote devices which issues a high-volume of update transactions Dataentry application Dataentry application OLTP-web application ‘Adhoc’ reporting RDBMS Informed reporting The tranquil database scene • Database solutions can not carry the weight Dataentry application Dataentry application OLTP-web application ‘Adhoc’ reporting RDBMS Informed reporting Application domains • Personalized financial tickers • Personalized information delivery • Personalized environment control • Business to business middelware • Web-services application based on XML exchange • • • • • Monitoring the real-world environment (pollution, traffic) Monitoring the data flow in an ISP Monitoring web-traffic behaviour Monitoring the load on a telecom switch Monitoring external news-feeds Application vision • Re-define the role of a DBMS in the complete application support line – It manages a persistent store – It handles and coordinates updates – It supports ad-hoc querying • Application servers carry the load – J2EE, JBOS, Websphere,BEA,…. • Or partly redesign the DBMS Application domains • Personalized financial tickers • Personalized information delivery • Personalized environment control • Business to business middelware • Web-services application based on XML exchange • • • • • Monitoring the real-world environment (pollution, traffic) Monitoring the data flow in an ISP Monitoring web-traffic behaviour Monitoring the load on a telecom switch Monitoring external news-feeds Application domains • Personalized • Personalized • Personalized • • • • • • • QUERYING middelware on XML exchange Monitoring Monitoring Monitoring Monitoring Monitoring WEB SERVICES STREAM UPDATE Continuous queries • Continous query – the user observes the changes made to the database through a query – Query registration once – Continously up-to-date answers.

Finance • [DeWitt] Consider a financial feed where thousands of clients can register arbitrary complex continues queries. – XML stream querying XML DSMS Finance • Q5 Notify me whenever the price of KPN stock drops below 6 euro Select notifyUser(name, price) From ticker t1 Where t1.name = “KPN” and t1.price < 6 Finance • Q5 Notify me whenever the price of KPN stock drops by 5% over the last hour Select notifyUser(name, price) From ticker t1,t2 Where t1.name = “KPN” and t2.name= t1.name and getminutes(t1.timestamp-t2.timestamp) <60 and t1.price < 0.95 * t2.price Finance • Q6 Notify me whenever the price of KPN stock drops by 5% over the last hour and T-mobile remains constant Select notifyUser(name, price) From ticker t1,t2, t3,t4 Where t1.name = “KPN” and t2.name= t1.name and getminutes(t1.timestamp-t2.timestamp) <60 and t1.price < 0.95 * t2.price and t1.timestamp=t3.timestamp and t2.timestamp=t4.timestamp and t3.name = “T-Mobile” and t4.name= t3.name and getminutes(t3.timestamp-t4.timestamp) <60 and t3.price = t4.price Query signatures • Traditional SQL applications already use the notion of parameterised queries, I.e. some constants are replaced by a program variable. – Subsequent calls use the same query evaluation plan • In a DSMS we should recognize such queries as quick as possible – Organize similar queries into a group – Decompose complex queries into smaller queries – Manage the amount of intermediate store Finance • Queries can be organized in groups using a signature and evaluation can be replaced by single multi-user request.

Can be integrated in tradition query evaluation schemes t1.timestamp=t3.timestamp and t2.timestamp=t4.timestamp Sensor networks • [Madden] Sensor networks are composed of thousands of small devices, interconnected through radio links. This network can be queried. – Sensors have limited energy – Sensors have limited reachability – Sensors can be ‘crushed’ DSMS Aggregate Queries Over Ad-Hoc Wireless Sensor Networks Sensor networks • Q7 Give me the traffic density on the A1 for the last hour Select avg(t.car) From traffic t Where t.segment in (Select segment From roads Where name = “A1”) Group By gethour(t.timestamp) Sensor networks • The sensors should organize themselves into a P2P infrastructure • An aggregate query is broadcasted through the network • Each Mote calculates a partial answer and sent it to its peers • Peers aggregate the information to produce the final answer. • Problems – The energy to broadcast some information is high – Tuples and partial results may be dropped Conclusions and outlook • Data stream management technology require changes in our expectation of a DBMS functionality – Queries not necessarily provide a precise answer – Queries continue as long as we are interested in their approximate result – The persistent store not necessarily contains a consistent and timeless view on the state of the database. Conclusions and outlook • Datastream management technology capitalizes upon proven DBMS technology • DSMS provide a basis for ambient home settings, sensor networks, and globe spanning information systems • It is realistic to expect that some of the properties to support efficient datastream management will become part of the major products – Multi query optimization techniques should be added.
