This invention describes a system for optimizing how complex database queries run on distributed computer systems. It translates a database query into a series of basic steps, then creates a visual map (a Directed Acyclic Graph) showing how these steps will be executed by various computing engines. The claims specify that this map can be further customized with user-provided information, such as how much work should be done in parallel or if certain data should be temporarily stored for faster access.
Why it matters: Given the short time since filing, the engineering challenge of unifying optimization across diverse distributed execution engines remains a significant obstacle rather than a new opportunity.
