Moa and the multi-model architecture: a new perspective on XNF2
Advanced non-traditional application domains such as geographic information systems and digital library systems demand advanced data management support. In an effort to cope with this demand, we present the concept of a novel multi-model DBMS architecture which provides evaluation of queries on complexly structured data without sacrificing efficiency. A vital role in this architecture is played by the Moa language featuring a nested relational data model based on XNF2, in which we placed renewed interest. Furthermore, extensibility in Moa avoids optimization obstacles due to black-box treatment of ADTs. The combination of a mapping of queries on complexly structured data to an efficient physical algebra expression via a nested relational algebra, extensibility open to optimization, and the consequently better integration of domain-specific algorithms, makes that the Moa system can efficiently and effectively handle complex queries from non-traditional application domains
A Database Approach to Content-based XML retrieval
This paper describes a rst prototype system for content-based retrieval from XML data. The system's design supports both XPath queries and complex information retrieval queries based on a language modelling approach to information retrieval. Evaluation using the INEX benchmark shows that it is beneficial if the system is biased to retrieve large XML fragments over small fragments
Apache Calcite: A Foundational Framework for Optimized Query Processing Over Heterogeneous Data Sources
Apache Calcite is a foundational software framework that provides query
processing, optimization, and query language support to many popular
open-source data processing systems such as Apache Hive, Apache Storm, Apache
Flink, Druid, and MapD. Calcite's architecture consists of a modular and
extensible query optimizer with hundreds of built-in optimization rules, a
query processor capable of processing a variety of query languages, an adapter
architecture designed for extensibility, and support for heterogeneous data
models and stores (relational, semi-structured, streaming, and geospatial).
This flexible, embeddable, and extensible architecture is what makes Calcite an
attractive choice for adoption in big-data frameworks. It is an active project
that continues to introduce support for the new types of data sources, query
languages, and approaches to query processing and optimization.Comment: SIGMOD'1
