To remedy this situation, we propose an extensible and +structured algebraic framework called Prairie for specifying rules. +Prairie facilitates rule-writing by enabling a user to write rules and +actions more quickly, correctly and in an easy-to-understand and +easy-to-debug manner. + +Query optimizers consist of three major parts: a search space, a cost +model and a search strategy. The approach we take is only to develop +the algebra which defines the search space and the cost model and use +the Volcano optimizer-generator as our search engine. Using Prairie as +a front-end, we translate Prairie rules to Volcano to validate our +claim that Prairie makes it easier to write rules. + +We describe our algebra and present experimental results which +show that using a high-level framework like Prairie to design +large-scale optimizers does not sacrifice efficiency. +} +\end{abstract} |
