20140067884 | ATOMIC INCREMENTAL LOAD FOR MAP-REDUCE SYSTEMS ON APPEND-ONLY FILE SYSTEMS - Augmenting data files in a repository of an append-only file system comprises maintaining metadata corresponding to each data file for tracking a logical end-of-file (EOF) for each data file for appending. A global versioning mechanism for the metadata allows selecting the current version of the metadata to read for performing an append job for a set of data files. Each append job comprises multiple append tasks. For each successful append job, the global versioning mechanism increments a valid metadata version to use for each data file appended. Said valid metadata version indicates the logical EOF corresponding to a new physical EOF for each of the data files appended. | 03-06-2014 |
20140214796 | EFFICIENT JOIN WITH ONE OR MORE LARGE DIMENSION TABLES - Embodiments of the invention relate to processing queries that utilize fact and/or dimension tables. In one aspect, a pre-join filtering phase precedes a star join. The necessary conditions for the pre-join filtering are considered for a given SQL query, including an estimated size of the hash table exceeding a threshold and presence of a local predicate either on the fact table or one or more dimension tables that is not a large dimension table. Once the necessary conditions are satisfied, the execution of the query exploits the pre-join filtering to build a pre-join output filter from columns of a reduced fact table that joins with each large dimension table. Thereafter, all the dimension tables and the fact table are joined in a star join while exploiting each pre-join filter. Accordingly, the order of when joins occur is changed in order to reduce the size of the fact table and to work from the fact table to reduce the size of large dimension tables. | 07-31-2014 |
