— Accurate query performance prediction (QPP) is central to effective resource management, query optimization and query scheduling. Analytical cost models, used in current genera...
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...
