Abstract

We introduce a new parameter, the clusteredness of data, and show how it can be used for estimating the output cardinality of a partial preaggregation operator. This provides the query optimizer with an important piece of information for deciding whether the application of partial preaggregation is beneficial. Experimental results are very promising, due to the high accuracy of the cardinality estimation based on our measure of clusteredness.
