Fast Smallest Lowest Common Ancestor Computation Based on Stable Match

In this paper, we focus on efficient processing of XML keyword queries based on smallest lowest common ancestor (SLCA) semantics. For a given query Q with m Key words we propose to use stable matches as the basis for SLCA computation, where each stable match M consists of m nodes that belong to the m distinct keyword inverted lists of Q. M satisfies that no other lowest common ancestor (LCA) node of Q can be found to be located after the first node of M and be a descendant of the LCA of M, based on which the operation of locating a stable match can skip more useless nodes. We propose two stable match based algorithms for SLCA computation, i.e., BSLCA and HSLCA. BSLCA processes two keyword inverted lists each time from the shortest to the longest, while HSLCA processes all keyword inverted lists in a holistic way to avoid the problem of redundant computation invoked by BSLCA. Our extensive experimental results verify the performance advantages of our methods according to various evaluation metrics.     

TDCOL:列式存储的XML关键字查询处理策略

针对已有方法在XML数据上基于SLCA(smallest lowest common ancestor)语义处理查询时存在的冗余计算问题,提出了一种基于列存储的倒排索引CList,用于避免已有方法的倒排表中相同数据重复存储的问题。基于CList,提出了一种自顶向下的查询处理算法TDCOL(top-down SLCA computation based oncol-umn storage)来提升系统的处理性能。对于给定查询Q={k1,k2,...,km}的每个公共祖先结点,TDCOL在保证仅处理一次的情况下即可得到所有满足条件的结果,因而将时间复杂度降为O(m′|LID1|′lb|Skmaxch(v)|),其中|LID1|是Q的最短倒排表中包含的不同ID值的数目,Skmaxch(v)是所有被处理结点的包含关键字的孩子结点集中的最大集合。最后通过比较各种指标,从不同角度对TDCOL算法的性能优势进行了验证。
