Joined, thanks. I'm glad that the approach was open for this. I think that helps it chances to be ubiquitous. As much as this might be blasphemous to some, I really hope that the final solution to the query wars is a collaborative solution as opposed to a competitive one.
Having not looked at the code yet, do the existing read interfaces support working with "late materialization" execution strategies similar to some of the ideas at [1]? Definitely seems harder to implement in a nested/repeated environment but wanted to get a sense of the thinking behind the initial efforts. thanks again, Jacques [1] http://cs-www.cs.yale.edu/homes/dna/papers/abadisigmod06.pdf On Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 10:40 AM, Todd Lipcon <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Jacques, > > Feel free to ping us with any questions.
