Adaptive query processing

Definition

When querying long-lived data streams, the characteristics of the data may change over time or data may arrive in bursts – hence, the traditional model of optimizing a query prior to executing it is insufficient. As a result, most data stream management systems employ feedback-driven adaptive stream processing, which continuously re-optimizes the query execution plan based on data and stream properties, in order to meet certain performance or resource consumption goals. Adaptive stream processing is a special case of the more general problem of adaptive query processing, with the special property that intermediate results are bounded in size (by stream windows), but where query processing may have quality-of-service constraints.

Historical Background

The field of adaptive stream processing emerged in the early 2000s, as two separate developments converged. Adaptivetechniques for database query processing had become an area of increasing...
