We present an effective optimization framework for general SQLlike map-reduce queries, which is based on a novel query algebra and uses a small number of higher-order physical ope...
We study the problem of maintaining recursively-de ned views, such as the transitive closure of a relation, in traditional relational languages that do not have recursion mechanis...
The emergence of the Web has increased interests in XML data. XML query languages such as XQuery and XPath use label paths to traverse the irregularly structured data. Without a s...
