The Architecture of PIER: an Internet-Scale Query Processor

Summary: PIER: first general-purpose relational query engine for Internet-scale p2p networks, supporting massively distributed snapshot and continuous queries across thousands–millions of nodes. Unique for repurposing overlay networks for dissemination, operator placement, and compact data/metadata management in a decentralized Java DBMS. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
