JSON Tiles: Fast Analytics on Semi-Structured Data
Summary: JSON Tiles enables fast analytics on semi-structured JSON in relational DBs without fixed schemas. It auto-detects key attributes, extracts them transparently like a column store, handles heterogeneous data, and collects optimizer statistics, achieving near-columnar scan speeds.
