Background: Ripple Join records from B records from A spillednew spilled new For each ripple: Read new records from A and B; check for matches Read spilled records; check for matches with new records Spill new to disk 9 [Haas & Hellerstein’99] PR-Join: A Non-Blocking Join Achieving Higher Early Result Rate Shimin Chen, Phillip B.

10. Observations of Ripple Join 10 Total I/Os: O(N 2 ) –N = total # of input pages in A and B –I/Os of ripples form an arithmetic series Result rate of a ripple is higher if wider ripple –Increase ripple width But ripple width limited by the memory size PR-Join: A Non-Blocking Join Achieving Higher Early Result Rate Shimin Chen, Phillip B.

11. PR-Join Idea 1: Multiplicatively Expanding Ripples Total I/Os: O(N) linear –I/Os of ripples form a geometric series Higher result rate: –Wider ripple leads to higher result rate  But must overcome memory size limitation 11 PR-Join: A Non-Blocking Join Achieving Higher Early Result Rate Shimin Chen, Phillip B.

12. PR-Join Idea 2: Hash Partitioning Each partition < memory Every join invocation performs a ripple on a partition –Estimation is updated after every join invocation –Much faster user responses  Statistically sound 12 empty Partitioned on Join key PR-Join: A Non-Blocking Join Achieving Higher Early Result Rate Shimin Chen, Phillip B.
