An Optimized Tri-store System for Multi-model Data Analytics
share
Data science applications increasingly rely on heterogeneous data sources and analytics. This has led to growing interest in polystore systems, especially analytical polystores. In this work, we focus on a class of emerging multi-data model analytics workloads that fluidly straddle relational, graph, and text analytics. Instead of a generic polystore, we build a “tri-store” system that is more aware of the underlying data models to better optimize execution to improve scalability and runtime efficiency. We name our system AWESOME (Analytics WorkbEnch for SOcial MEdia). It features a powerful domain-specific language named ADIL. ADIL builds on top of underlying query engines (e.g., SQL and Cypher) and features native data types for succinctly specifying cross-engine queries and NLP operations, as well as automatic in-memory and query optimizations. Using real-world tri-model analytical workloads and datasets, we empirically demonstrate the functionalities of AWESOME for scalable data science applications and evaluate its efficiency.
