17. Stream Query Optimization Differences with Traditional Query Optimization?

18. Stream Query Optimization New classes of operators (windows) may mean new rewrites New execution modes (continuous/pipelining) More dynamic fluctuations in statistics  compile time optimization not possible Global optimization not practical; as huge query networks  Adaptive optimization. Other cost models taking memory into account, not throughput but output rate, etc. Query optimization and load shedding

19. Query Optimization Compile-time, Global Optimization Infeasible Too Many Boxes Too Much Volatility in Network, Data Dynamic, Local Optimization Threshold re when to optimize

20. Motivation of ‘Query Migration’ Continuous query over streams –Statistics unknown before start –Statistics changing during execution Stream rates, arrival pattern, distribution, etc Need for dynamic adaptation –Plan re-optimization Change the shape of query plan tree

21. Run-time Plan Re-Optimization Step 1 - Decide when to optimize –Statistics Monitoring Step 2 – Generate new query plan –Query Optimization Step 3 – Replace current plan by new plan –Plan Migration

22. Adaptivity in Query Optimization Dynamic Optimization : Migration 3. Drain Subnetwork 4. Optimize Subnetwork 5. Turn on Taps 1. Identify Subnetwork 2. Buffer Inputs

23. Naïve Plan Migration Strategy Migration Steps –Pause execution of old plan –Drain out all tuples inside old plan –Replace old plan by new plan –Resume execution of new plan AB BC AB C AB BC A B C Problem: Works for stateless operators only

24. Stateful Operator in CQ Why stateful –Need non-blocking operators in CQ –Operator needs to output partial results –State data structure keep received tuples AB AB b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 ax State AState B ax b2 axb3 Key Observation: The purge of tuples in states relies on processing of new tuples. Example: Symmetric NL join w/ window constraints

25. Naïve Migration Strategy Revisited Steps (1) Pause execution of old plan (2) Drain out all tuples inside old plan (3) Replace old plan by new plan (4) Resume execution of new plan AB BC AB C (2) All tuples drained (4) Processing Resumed (3) Old Replaced By new Deadlock Waiting Problem:

26. Adaptivity Query Optimization State Movement Protocol Parallel Track Protocol

27. Moving State Strategy Basic idea –Share common states between two migration boxes Key steps –State Matching Match states based on IDs. –State Moving Create new pointers for matched states in new box –What’s left? Unmatched states in new box CD S ABC SDSD BC S AB SCSC AB SASA SBSB SASA S BCD CD S BC SDSD BC SBSB SCSC QAQA QBQB QCQC QDQD QAQA QBQB QCQC QDQD Q ABCD Old BoxNew Box

28. Parallel Track Strategy Basic idea –Execute both plans in parallel and gradually “push” old tuples out of old box by purging Key steps –Connect boxes –Execute in parallel Until old box “expired” (no old tuple or sub-tuple) –Disconnect old box –Start execute new box only CD S ABC SDSD BC S AB SCSC AB SASA SBSB SASA S BCD CD S BC SDSD BC SBSB SCSC QAQA QBQB QCQC QDQD QAQA QBQB QCQC QDQD Q ABCD

29. 1. Two Load Shedding Techniques: Random Tuple Drops Add DROP box to network (DROP a special case of FILTER) Position to affect queries w/ tolerant delivery-based QoS reqts Semantic Load Shedding FILTER values with low utility (acc to value-based QoS) 2. Triggered by QoS Monitor e.g., after Latency Analysis reveals certain applications are continuously receiving poor QoS Adaptivity Load Shedding

30. Adaptivity Detecting Overload Throughput Analysis Cost = c Selectivity = s Input rate = r Output rate = min (1/c, r) * s 1/c > r  Problem C,S I O P I O P I O P I O P I O P I O P I O P I O P I O P Monitor each application’s Delay-based QoS Problem: Too many apps in “bad zone” Latency Analysis
