Partial Join Order Optimization in the ParAccel Analytic Database
Summary: ParAccel's Volt optimizer—a parallel, shared-nothing, columnar analytic DB with memory-centric design and multi-manager expression handling—uses rule- and cost-based transformations for bulk and instance-level queries. Partial join ordering of very large join sets reduces DP search space and enables scalable, subsequent optimization; performance analyses show utility and effectiveness.
