Encapsulation of Parallelism in the Volcano Query Processing System
Summary: Volcano's exchange op encapsulates all parallelism; enables intra-op and vertical/horizontal inter-op parallelism. Adopts operator model over bracket, preserves a commercial interface, and maps in-process demand-driven dataflow to inter-process dataflow.
