             Summary: Federated query optimization for independent queries 
(with join)
                 Key: JENA-449
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-449
             Project: Apache Jena
          Issue Type: Question
          Components: ARQ, TDB
    Affects Versions: TDB 0.10.1
            Reporter: Sarven Capadisli
            Priority: Minor


At this point I'm lead to believe that ARQ is not making an optimization before 
making a federated query. Or, well, hopefully the issue has to do with my 
SPARQL knowledge :)

When trying to make two federated queries (may or may not be to same endpoint), 
the solution of the first graph pattern in SERVICE is projected onto the second 
SERVICE. e.g.,

SELECT DISTINCT ?a ?c ?x ?y
WHERE {
  { SERVICE <http://example.org/sparql> {
    ?a :p ?x .
    ?a skos:exactMatch ?b .
  } }

  { SERVICE <http://example.info/sparql> {
    ?c :p ?y .
    ?c skos:exactMatch ?d .
  } }

  FILTER (?b = ?c || ?d = ?a || ?a = ?c)
}

As there are no overlapping variable names in use, shouldn't each SERVICE do 
its own thing independently from one another, and then the results get joined?

What I'm experiencing is that, if the first query comes back with n number of 
triples, the second query is called n times. Expectation is that, each query is 
called once.
