Dremel: Interactive Analysis of Web-Scale Datasets

Summary: Dremel: scalable interactive query system for nested data, using multilevel execution trees and columnar layout for aggregations. Nested-columnar storage and tree-based execution enable petabyte-scale analysis on thousands of CPUs, complementing MapReduce. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
