SCALE OUT DATA STORAGE AND QUERY FILTERING USING STORAGE POOLS

摘要

Performing a distributed query across a storage pool includes receiving a database query at a master node or a compute pool within a database system. Based on receiving the database query, a storage pool within the database system is identified. The storage pool comprises a plurality of storage nodes. Each storage node includes a relational engine, a big data engine, and big data storage. The storage pool stores at least a portion of a data set using the plurality of storage nodes by storing a different partition of the data set within the big data storage at each storage node. The database query is processed across the plurality of storage nodes. Query processing includes requesting that each storage node perform a query operation against the partition of the data set stored in its big data storage and return any data from the partition that is produced by the query operation.
