of current NoSQL databases with an effective approach for executing SQL queries while preserving their scalability and schema flexibility. We show how a full-fledged SQL engine can be integrated atop of HBase leading to an ANSI SQL compli-ant database. Under a standard TPC-C workload our prototype scales

Clients of outsourced databases need Query Authentication (QA) guaranteeing the integrity (correctness and completeness), and authenticity of the query results returned by potentially compromised providers. Existing results provide QA assurances for a limited class of queries by deploying several software cryptographic constructs. Here, we show that, to achieve QA, however, it is significantly cheaper and more practical to deploy serverhosted, tamper-proof co-processors, despite their higher acquisition costs. Further, this provides the ability to handle arbitrary queries. To reach this insight, we extensively survey existing QA work and identify interdependencies and efficiency relationships. We then introduce CorrectDB, a new DBMS with full QA assurances, leveraging server-hosted, tamper-proof, trusted hardware in close proximity to the outsourced data. 1.

Cloudera Impala is a modern, open-source MPP SQL en-gine architected from the ground up for the Hadoop data processing environment. Impala provides low latency and high concurrency for BI/analytic read-mostly queries on Hadoop, not delivered by batch frameworks such as Apache Hive. This paper

TBox reasoning is independent of the ABox, and the part of the process requiring access to the ABox can be carried out by an SQL engine, thus taking advantage of the query optimization strategies provided by current Data Base Management Systems. Since it can be shown that even slight extensions

expensive at this scale. Besides, many of the people who analyze this data are entrenched procedural programmers, who find the declarative, SQL style to be unnatural. The success of the more procedural map-reduce programming model, and its associated scalable implementations on commodity hardware

are inappropriate, since semistructured data often is irregular, some data is missing, similar concepts are represented using different types, heterogeneous sets are present, or object structure is not fully known. Lorel is a user-friendly language in the SQL/OQL style for querying such data effectively. For wide

of acquiring data, we are able to significantly reduce power consumption over traditional passive systems that assume the a priori existence of data. We discuss simple extensions to SQL for controlling data acquisition, and show how acquisitional issues influence query optimization, dissemination

XML is fast emerging as the dominant standard for representing data in the World Wide Web. Sophisticated query engines that allow users to effectively tap the data stored in XML documents will be crucial to exploiting the full power of XML. While there has been a great deal of activity recently

Dryad is a general-purpose distributed execution engine for coarse-grain data-parallel applications. A Dryad applica-tion combines computational “vertices ” with communica-tion “channels ” to form a dataflow graph. Dryad runs the application by executing the vertices of this graph on a set

The rapid growth of the World-Wide Web poses unprecedented scaling challenges for general-purpose crawlers and search engines. In this paper we describe a new hypertext resource discovery system called a Focused Crawler. The goal of a focused crawler is to selectively seek out pages
