On supporting compilation in spatial query engines
Ruby Y. Tahboub, Tiark Rompf · 2016
Today's 'Big' spatial computing and analytics are largely processed in-memory. Still, evaluation in prominent spatial query engines is neither fully optimized for modern-class platforms nor taking full advantage of compilation (i.e., generating low-level query code). Query compilation has been rapidly rising inside in-memory relational database management systems (RDBMSs) achieving remarkable speedups; how can we bring similar benefits to spatial query engines?
