Optimizing XML Compression in XQueC

Abstract

We present our approach to the problem of optimizing compression choices in the context of the XQueC compressed XML database system. In XQueC, data items are aggregated into containers, which are further grouped to be compressed together. This way, XQueC is able to exploit data commonalities and to perform query evaluation in the compressed domain, with the aim of improving both compression and querying performance. However, different compression
algorithms have different performance and support different sets of operations in the compressed domain. Therefore, choosing how to group containers and which compression algorithm to apply to each group is a challenging issue. We address this problem through an appropriate cost model and a suitable blend of heuristics which, based on a given query workload, are capable of driving
appropriate compression choices.
