Distributed Databases Revolutionized: Efficient Joins Reduce Communication Costs
This article introduces a new way to make database searches faster by using something called Semi-Joins. These Semi-Joins help combine information from different parts of a database without needing to send lots of data back and forth between them. The researchers came up with a clever method, which they call Mixed-Semi-Joins (MSJs), to make this process even more efficient for handling complex queries. Their research found that by using this technique, they could speed up the process of searching and sorting data, especially when dealing with things like joining several sets of data together.
