Query optimization in the presence of limited access patterns

Abstract

We consider the problem of query optimization in the presence of limitations on access patterns to the data (i.e., when one must provide values for one of the attributes of a relation in order to obtain tuples). We show that in the presence of limited access patterns we must search a space of annotated query plans , where the annotations describe the inputs that must be given to the plan. We describe a theoretical and experimental analysis of the resulting search space and a novel query optimization algorithm that is designed to perform well under the different conditions that may arise. The algorithm searches the set of annotated query plans, pruning invalid and non-viable plans as early as possible in the search space, and it also uses a best-first search strategy in order to produce a first complete plan early in the search. We describe experiments to illustrate the performance of our algorithm.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
