Database system performance is directly related to the efficiency
of the system at storing data on primary storage (for example,
disk) and moving it into CPU registers for processing. For this
reason, there is a long history in the database community of
research exploring physical storage alternatives, including
sophisticated indexing, materialized views, and vertical and
horizontal partitioning. In recent years, there has been renewed
interest in so-called column-oriented systems, sometimes also
called column-stores. Column-store systems completely vertically
partition a database into a collection of individual columns that
are stored separately. By storing each column separately on disk,
these column-based systems enable queries to readjust the
attributes they need, rather than having to read entire rows from
disk and discard unneeded attributes once they are in memory. The
Design and Implementation of Modern Column-Oriented Database
Systems discusses modern column-stores, their architecture and
evolution as well the benefits they can bring in data analytics.
There is a specific focus on three influential research prototypes,
MonetDB, MonetDB/X100, and C-Store. These systems have formed the
basis for several well-known commercial column-store
implementations. Their similarities and differences are described
and they are discussed in terms of their specific architectural
features for compression, late materialization, join processing,
vectorization and adaptive indexing (database cracking). This is an
excellent reference on the topic for database researchers and
practitioners.
