Compiling queries to machine code is a very efficient way for executing queries. One often overlooked problem with compilation is the time it takes to generate machine code. Even with fast compilation frameworks like LLVM, generating machine code for complex queries often takes hundreds of milliseconds. Such durations can be a major disadvantage for workloads that execute many complex, but quick queries. To solve this problem, we propose an adaptive execution framework, which dynamically switches from interpretation to compilation. We also propose a fast bytecode interpreter for LLVM, which can execute queries without costly translation to machine code and dramatically reduces the query latency. Adaptive execution is fine-grained, and can execute code paths of the same query using different execution modes. Our evaluation shows that this approach achieves optimal performance in a wide variety of settings-low latency for small data sets and maximum throughput for large data sizes.

Analytical queries virtually always involve aggregation and statistics. SQL offers a wide range of functionalities to summarize data such as associative aggregates, distinct aggregates, ordered-set aggregates, grouping sets, and window functions. In this work, we propose a unified framework for advanced statistics that composes all flavors of complex SQL aggregates from low-level plan operators. These operators can reuse materialized intermediate results, which decouples monolithic aggregation logic and speeds up complex multi-expression queries. The contribution is therefore twofold: our framework modularizes aggregate implementations, and outperforms traditional systems whenever multiple aggregates are combined. We integrated our approach into the high-performance database system Umbra and experimentally show that we compute complex aggregates faster than the state-of-the-art HyPer system.
