Data warehousing and scientific database applications operate on massive datasets and are characterized by complex queries accessing large portions of the database. Concurrent queries often exhibit high data and computation overlap, e.g., they access the same relations on disk, compute similar aggregates, or share intermediate results. Unfortunately, run-time sharing in modern database engines is limited by the paradigm of invoking an independent set of operator instances per query, potentially missing sharing opportunities if the buffer pool evicts data early.
