Abstract:Whenever two (or more) access methods are alternatives for the execution of a query, how to choose which one is the best for the task? Such a decision is made by the DBMS optimizer module, which models the query costs according to the distribution of the data space. Cost modeling of similarity searches, however, requires the representation of distances’ rather than data distribution. In this paper, we propose the Stockpile model for cost estimation of similarity queries on metric trees by using pivot-based dis… Show more
