Dataframes are a popular abstraction to represent, prepare, and analyze data. Despite the remarkable success of dataframe libraries in Rand Python, dataframes face performance issues even on moderately large datasets. Moreover, there is significant ambiguity regarding dataframe semantics. In this paper we lay out a vision and roadmap for scalable dataframe systems. To demonstrate the potential in this area, we report on our experience building MODIN, a scaled-up implementation of the most widely-used and complex dataframe API today, Pythons pandas. With pandas as a reference, we propose a simple data model and algebra for dataframes to ground discussion in the field. Given this foundation, we lay out an agenda of open research opportunities where the distinct features of dataframes will require extending the state of the art in many dimensions of data management. We discuss the implications of signature data-frame features including flexible schemas, ordering, row/column equivalence, and data/metadata fluidity, as well as the piecemeal, trial-and-error-based approach to interacting with dataframes.

We propose opportunistic evaluation, a framework for accelerating interactions with dataframes. Interactive latency is critical for iterative, human-in-the-loop dataframe workloads for supporting exploratory data analysis. Opportunistic evaluation si gnificantly reduces interactive latency by 1) prioritizing computation directly relevant to the interactions and 2) leveraging think time for asynchronous background computation for non-critical operators that might be relevant to future interactions. We show, through empirical analysis, that current user behavior presents ample opportunities for optimization, and the solutions we propose effectively harness such opportunities.
The wide use of XML for document management and data exchange has created the need to query large repositories of XML data. To efficiently query such large data collections and take advantage of parallelism, we have implemented Apache VXQuery, an ope n-source scalable XQuery processor. The system builds upon two other open-source frameworks -- Hyracks, a parallel execution engine, and Algebricks, a language agnostic compiler toolbox. Apache VXQuery extends these two frameworks and provides an implementation of the XQuery specifics (data model, data-model dependent functions and optimizations, and a parser). We describe the architecture of Apache VXQuery, its integration with Hyracks and Algebricks, and the XQuery optimization rules applied to the query plan to improve path expression efficiency and to enable query parallelism. An experimental evaluation using a real 500GB dataset with various selection, aggregation and join XML queries shows that Apache VXQuery performs well both in terms of scale-up and speed-up. Our experiments show that it is about 3x faster than Saxon (an open-source and commercial XQuery processor) on a 4-core, single node implementation, and around 2.5x faster than Apache MRQL (a MapReduce-based parallel query processor) on an eight (4-core) node cluster.
In the field of database deduplication, the goal is to find approximately matching records within a database. Blocking is a typical stage in this process that involves cheaply finding candidate pairs of records that are potential matches for further processing. We present here Hashed Dynamic Blocking, a new approach to blocking designed to address datasets larger than those studied in most prior work. Hashed Dynamic Blocking (HDB) extends Dynamic Blocking, which leverages the insight that rare matching values and rare intersections of values are predictive of a matching relationship. We also present a novel use of Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) to build blocking key values for huge databases with a convenient configuration to control the trade-off between precision and recall. HDB achieves massive scale by minimizing data movement, using compact block representation, and greedily pruning ineffective candidate blocks using a Count-min Sketch approximate counting data structure. We benchmark the algorithm by focusing on real-world datasets in excess of one million rows, demonstrating that the algorithm displays linear time complexity scaling in this range. Furthermore, we execute HDB on a 530 million row industrial dataset, detecting 68 billion candidate pairs in less than three hours at a cost of $307 on a major cloud service.
Probabilistic databases play a crucial role in the management and understanding of uncertain data. However, incorporating probabilities into the semantics of incomplete databases has posed many challenges, forcing systems to sacrifice modeling power, scalability, or restrict the class of relational algebra formula under which they are closed. We propose an alternative approach where the underlying relational database always represents a single world, and an external factor graph encodes a distribution over possible worlds; Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) inference is then used to recover this uncertainty to a desired level of fidelity. Our approach allows the efficient evaluation of arbitrary queries over probabilistic databases with arbitrary dependencies expressed by graphical models with structure that changes during inference. MCMC sampling provides efficiency by hypothesizing {em modifications} to possible worlds rather than generating entire worlds from scratch. Queries are then run over the portions of the world that change, avoiding the onerous cost of running full queries over each sampled world. A significant innovation of this work is the connection between MCMC sampling and materialized view maintenance techniques: we find empirically that using view maintenance techniques is several orders of magnitude faster than naively querying each sampled world. We also demonstrate our systems ability to answer relational queries with aggregation, and demonstrate additional scalability through the use of parallelization.
Subgraph enumeration is a fundamental problem in graph analytics, which aims to find all instances of a given query graph on a large data graph. In this paper, we propose a system called HUGE to efficiently process subgraph enumeration at scale in th e distributed context. HUGE features 1) an optimiser to compute an advanced execution plan without the constraints of existing works; 2) a hybrid communication layer that supports both pushing and pulling communication; 3) a novel two-stage execution mode with a lock-free and zero-copy cache design, 4) a BFS/DFS-adaptive scheduler to bound memory consumption, and 5) two-layer intra- and inter-machine load balancing. HUGE is generic such that all existing distributed subgraph enumeration algorithms can be plugged in to enjoy automatic speed up and bounded-memory execution.
