The paper discusses various techniques to improve the efficiency of data processing in modern databases, particularly column-store databases. These techniques include:1. Data compression: Using dictionary-based compression or run-length encoding to reduce the amount of data processed.2. Vectorization: Representing data as vectors to improve performance for complex queries.3. Parallelization: Splitting large datasets into smaller chunks and processing them simultaneously to improve performance.4. Optimization of query plans: Using cost-based optimization and query rewriting to reduce the amount of data processed.5. Use of specialized hardware: Offloading computationally intensive tasks to GPUs or FPGAs.6. Data partitioning: Reducing the amount of data processed by partitioning or sampling the data.7. Query optimization: Improving query performance through techniques such as caching and query rewriting.8. Data pruning: Removing unnecessary data to improve performance.9. Index selection: Selecting appropriate indexes to improve query performance.10. Data layout optimization: Optimizing the layout of data to reduce the amount of data processed.The paper also identifies several open challenges and research directions, including:1.
