| Description: | As query engines are scaled and federated, they must cope with highly unpredictable and changeable environments. In the Telegraph project, we are attempting to architect and implement a continuously adaptive query engine suitable for global-area systems, massive parallelism, and sensor networks. To set the stage for our research, we present a survey of prior work on adaptive query processing, focusing on three characterizations of adaptivity: the frequency of adaptivity, the effects of adaptivity, and the extent of adaptivity. Given this survey, we sketch directions for research in the Telegraph project. 1 Introduction Adaptivity has been an inherent -- though largely latent -- aspect of database research for the last three decades. Codd's vision of data independence was predicated on the development of systems that could adapt gracefully and opaquely to changing data and data structures. Query optimization, with its attendant technologies for cost estimation, served as an early dif. |
