Hashjoin performance with large vs small tables
by Roberto Cornacchia 12 May '15

Hi there, Triggered by a suspiciously slow join, I had a look at BATsubjoin, in particular at how it is decided which algorithm to use. I looked at a couple of cases with a join on strings. This is one (pseudo syntax): l.count ~16M l.T.sorted = 0 l.T.revsorted = 0 r.count = 1 r.T.sorted = 1 r.T.revsorted = 1 In this case, a hash table on r is created (because it's smaller). This join takes *430ms*. I forced swapping l and r, thus built the hash table on the larger bat, and then it takes *0.8ms*. Notice that though r.count = 1 is a bit of an extreme case, it does happen often in practice. And the case with a few tuples would not be very different. The question I wanted to ask is: is it always right to build the hash table on the small table? Perhaps some more heuristics can help? Like: if the smaller is very small, and the larger is not extremely large, then hash on the larger one? Roberto

Facing issues in implementing Embedded R in MonetDB-11.19.11
by Vishal Virmani 11 May '15

Hi I am implementing Embedded R in MonetDB version 11.19.11. My environment is VM with Ubuntu 14.04 Server. I have build MonetDB from source and R as well as from source. Running the command sudo mserver5 --version shows me the desired output. When i try to invoke a database using sudo monetdb start testdb1 command, where testdb1 is a database i successfully created, it repeatedly throws up an error...database 'testdb1' started up, but failed to open up a communication channel. Upon checking the associated merovingian log file i see further messages saying the object code to rapi.prelude missing. Any way to resolve this...? Regards Vishal Virmani @poisoncreed

Suggestion: Windows builds ...

Hello Might it be possible to include copies of the relevant header files for the support libraries (iconv through to zdll) in the GIT repo and/or tarballs? There is a considerable amount of pain involved in acquiring/building/installing matching versions of the lib/dll files on Windows (esp. on Windows!). Also libstream.dll does not advertise any version information which makes matching just that bit harder :) Thanks. Jerry.
