Holistic Twig Joins on Indexed XML Documents

Summary: Holistic twig joins on indexed XML documents; leverages indices on element sets for all/partly indexed data. Analytically as efficient as state-of-the-art in worst-case I/O and CPU, yet shows significant practical gains, especially when twig binary joins have varying selectivities.
