Adaptive Adaptive Indexing

Abstract

In nature, many species became extinct as they could not adapt quickly enough to their environment. They were simply not fit enough to adapt to more and more challenging circumstances. Similar things happen when algorithms are too static to cope with particular challenges of their "environment", be it the workload, the machine, or the user requirements. In this regard, in this paper we explore the well-researched and fascinating family of adaptive indexing algorithms. Classical adaptive indexes solely adapt the indexedness of the data to the workload. However, we will learn that so far we have overlooked a second higher level of adaptivity, namely the one of the indexing algorithm itself. We will coin this second level of adaptivity meta-adaptivity. Based on a careful experimental analysis, we will develop an adaptive index, which realizes meta-adaptivity by (1) generalizing the way reorganization is performed, (2) reacting to the evolving indexedness and varying reorganization effort, and (3) defusing skewed distributions in the input data. As we will demonstrate, this allows us to emulate the characteristics of a large set of specialized adaptive indexing algorithms. In an extensive experimental study we will show that our meta-adaptive index is extremely fit in a variety of environments and outperforms a large amount of specialized adaptive indexes under various query access patterns and key distributions.
