Interactive Analysis of Web-Scale Data

CIDR (2009)

Abstract:

We consider how to support interactive querying over web- scale data. The basic approach is to view querying as a two-phase activity: rst supply a query template, and later supply speci c instantiations of the template. Interactive responsiveness is o ered in the second phase only. While in- stances of this problem have been studied in the past, e.g., OLAP and web search, we pursue a more general formula- tion. Our aim is to build a general two-phase query system.
