2. Example query

3. Execution
1. Pre-aggregation
2. Aggregation
3. Post-aggregation

4. Variable dependencies

5. Pre-aggregation
• Start from generator variables
• Resolve as many variables as possible using:
• Joins
• Functions
• Use as many filters as possible
• Join all sources into one set of tuples

6. Aggregation
• Group by resolved output variables
• Apply all aggregators to each group

7. Post-aggregation
• Resolve the rest of the variables
• Apply rest of filters

8. Example query

19. Cascading pipes
• Each: can occur in Map or Reduce
• GroupBy: Causes a Reduce step
• Every: One or more follow GroupBy
• CoGroup: Join implementation, causes
Reduce step
