Early diagnosis of hardware, software or configuration problems in data warehouse system utilizing grouping of queries based on query parameters

摘要

A method, system and computer program product for providing early diagnosis of hardware, software or configuration problems in a data warehouse system. A received query is parsed to determine the properties of the query. The query may then be joined to existing groups of queries if those groups have shared properties of the query. After executing the query according to an execution plan, results from the execution of the query is received, which may include problem(s) that occurred during execution of the query. For those problems that reach a pre-defined threshold of becoming a “group problem” in those groups joined by the query, the problem is reported to the end user concerning those groups where the problem exceeds the pre-defined threshold. In this manner, an early diagnosis of the problems in the data warehouse system that can cause delay and failure of the processing of queries is able to occur.
