Abstract:
A constantly increasing CPU-memory gap as well as steady growth of main memory capacities has increased interest in column store systems due to potential performance gains within the realm of database solutions. In the past several monolithic systems have reached maturity in the commercial and academic space. However a framework of low-level and modular components for rapidly building column store based applications has yet to emerge. A possible field of application is the rapid development of high-performance components in various data-intensive areas such as text-retrieval systems. The main contribution of this paper is column-store-kit, a basic building block of low-level components for constructing applications based on column store principles. We present a minimal amount of necessary structural elements and associated operations required for building applications based on our column-store-kit.
