Abstract

The cube adaptive-hash join algorithm, which combines the merits of nested-loop and hybrid-hash, is presented. The performance of these algorithms is compared through analytical cost modeling. The nonuniform data value distribution of the inner relation is shown to have a greater impact than that of the outer relation. The cube adaptive-hash algorithm outperforms the cube hybrid-hash algorithm when bucket overflow occurs. In the worst case, this algorithm converges to the cube nested-loop-hash algorithm. When there is no hash table overflow, the cube adaptive-hash algorithm converges to the cube hybrid-hash algorithm. Since the cube adaptive-hash algorithm adapts itself depending on the characteristics of the relations, it is relatively immune to the data distribution.
