Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are embodiments of a system for optimizing query processing in a federated information system. The system may be used to identify alternative query plans in a simulated environment and to calculate cost estimates associated with the alternative query plans, based not only on database statistics and query statements, but also based on workload and processing latencies associated with specific data source and with the federated information system as a whole. In addition the calculated cost estimates may also factor in data source availability and reliability. The system may use the alternative query plans and the associated cost estimates to influence query processing in a federated information system by feeding to the federated information system query plans that allow for cost-efficient query plan-level load distribution, cost-efficient query fragment plan-level load distribution, and load distribution based upon quality of service cost constraints.
