+<p><b>Description</b> Returns result for query as JSON. The response is a JSON 
object that contains some result metadata along with either an embedded result 
or an opaque handle that can be used to navigate to the result (see the 
decription of the <tt>mode</tt> parameter for more details).</p>
+<p><b>Parameters</b></p>
+<ul>
+
+<li><tt>statement</tt> - Specifies at least one valid SQL++ statement to run. 
The statements need to be urlencoded. Required.</li>
+<li><tt>pretty</tt> - If the parameter <tt>pretty</tt> is given with the value 
<tt>true</tt>, the result will be indented. (Optional)</li>
+<li><tt>client_context_id</tt> - A user-defined sequence of characters that 
the API receives and returns unchanged. This can be used e.g. to match 
individual requests, jobs, and responses. Another option could be to use it for 
groups of requests if an application decides to put e.g. an group identifier 
into that field to route groups of responses to a particular response 
processor.</li>
+<li><tt>mode</tt> - Result delivery mode. Possible values are 
<tt>immediate</tt>, <tt>deferred</tt>, <tt>async</tt> (default: 
<tt>immediate</tt>). If the delivery mode is <tt>immediate</tt> the query 
result is returned with the response. If the delivery mode is <tt>deferred</tt> 
the response contains a handle to the <a href="#queryresult">result</a>. If the 
delivery mode is <tt>async</tt> the response contains a handle to the 
query&#x2019;s <a href="#querystatus">status</a>.</li>

+<p>Data that needs to be processed by AsterixDB could be residing outside 
AsterixDB storage. Examples include data files on a distributed file system 
such as HDFS or on the local file system of a machine that is part of an 
AsterixDB cluster. For AsterixDB to process such data, an end-user may create a 
regular dataset in AsterixDB (a.k.a. an internal dataset) and load the dataset 
with the data. AsterixDB also supports &#x2018;&#x2018;external 
datasets&#x2019;&#x2019; so that it is not necessary to &#x201c;load&#x201d; 
all data prior to using it. This also avoids creating multiple copies of data 
and the need to keep the copies in sync.</p>

+<p>External data is accessed using wrappers (adapters in AsterixDB) that 
abstract away the mechanism of connecting with an external service, receiving 
its data and transforming the data into ADM objects that are understood by 
AsterixDB. AsterixDB comes with built-in adapters for common storage systems 
such as HDFS or the local file system.</p></div>

+<p>AsterixDB offers a set of builtin adapters that can be used to query 
external data or for loading data into an internal dataset using a load 
statement or a data feed. Each adapter requires specifying the <tt>format</tt> 
of the data in order to be able to parse objects correctly. Using adapters with 
feeds, the parameter <tt>output-type</tt> must also be specified.</p>
+<p>Following is a listing of existing built-in adapters and their 
configuration parameters:</p>

file resides on the local file system of a host</h4>
+<p>Prerequisite: The host is a  part of the ASTERIX cluster.</p>
+<p>Earlier, we assumed a single machine ASTERIX setup. To satisfy the 
prerequisite, log-in to the machine running ASTERIX.</p>
+<ul>
+
+<li>Download the <a href="../data/lineitem.tbl">data file</a> to an 
appropriate location. We denote this location by SOURCE_PATH.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>ASTERIX provides a built-in adapter for data residing on the local file 
system. The adapter is referred by its alias- &#x2018;localfs&#x2019;. We 
create an external dataset named Lineitem and use the &#x2018;localfs&#x2019; 
adapter.</p>

+
+<p>As we are using a single single machine ASTERIX instance, we use 127.0.0.1 
as host in the path parameter. We <i>complete the create dataset statement</i> 
as follows.</p>
+
+<div>
+<div>
+<pre class="source">    use dataverse ExternalFileDemo;

the local file system.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h4><a name="Common_source_of_error"></a>Common source of error</h4>

+</pre></div></div>
+
+<p>Verify the correctness of the path parameter provided to the localfs 
adapter. Note that the path parameter must be an absolute path to the data 
file. For e.g. if you saved your file in your home directory (assume it to be 
/home/joe), then the path value should be</p>

reachable from the hosts that form the AsterixDB cluster. AsterixDB provides a 
built-in adapter for data residing on HDFS. The HDFS adapter can be referred 
(in AQL) by its alias - &#x2018;hdfs&#x2019;. We can create an external dataset 
named Lineitem and associate the HDFS adapter with it as follows;</p>

+<p><i>Difference between &#x2018;input-format&#x2019; and 
&#x2018;format&#x2019;</i></p>
+<p><i>input-format</i>: Files stored under HDFS have an associated storage 
format. For example, TextInputFormat represents plain text files. 
SequenceFileInputFormat indicates binary compressed files. RCFileInputFormat 
corresponds to objects stored in a object columnar fashion. The parameter 
&#x2018;input-format&#x2019; is used to distinguish between these and other 
HDFS input formats.</p>
+<p><i>format</i>: The parameter &#x2018;format&#x2019; refers to the type of 
the data contained in the file. For example, data contained in a file could be 
in json or ADM format, could be in delimited-text with fields separated by a 
delimiting character or could be in binary format.</p>
+<p>As an example. consider the <a href="../data/lineitem.tbl">data file</a>.  
The file is a text file with each line representing a object. The fields in 
each object are separated by the &#x2018;|&#x2019; character.</p>
+<p>We assume the HDFS URL to be <a class="externalLink" 
href="hdfs://localhost:54310">hdfs://localhost:54310</a>. We further assume 
that the example data file is copied to HDFS at a path denoted by 
&#x201c;/asterix/Lineitem.tbl&#x201d;.</p>
+<p>The complete set of parameters for our example file are as follows. 
((&#x201c;hdfs&#x201d;=&#x201c;<a class="externalLink"

Datasets</a> <font size="4"><a href="#toc">[Back to TOC]</a></font></h2>
+<p>AsterixDB supports building B-Tree and R-Tree indexes over static data 
stored in the Hadoop Distributed File System. To create an index, first create 
an external dataset over the data as follows</p>
+
+<div>
+<div>
+<pre class="source">    create external dataset Lineitem(LineitemType)
+    using 
hdfs((&quot;hdfs&quot;=&quot;hdfs://localhost:54310&quot;),(&quot;path&quot;=&quot;/asterix/Lineitem.tbl&quot;),(&quot;input-format&quot;=&quot;text-input-
 
format&quot;),(&quot;format&quot;=&quot;delimited-text&quot;),(&quot;delimiter&quot;=&quot;|&quot;));
+</pre></div></div>
+
+<p>You can then create a B-Tree index on this dataset instance as if the 
dataset was internally stored as follows:</p>
+
+<div>
+<div>
+<pre class="source">    create index PartkeyIdx on Lineitem(l_partkey);
+</pre></div></div>
+
+<p>You could also create an R-Tree index as follows:</p>
+
+<div>
+<div>
+<pre class="source">    &#xfffc;create index IndexName on 
DatasetName(attribute-name) type rtree;
+</pre></div></div>
+
+<p>After building the indexes, the AsterixDB query compiler can use them to 
access the dataset and answer queries in a more cost effective manner. 
AsterixDB can read all HDFS input formats, but indexes over external datasets 
can currently be built only for HDFS datasets with 
&#x2018;text-input-format&#x2019;, &#x2018;sequence-input-format&#x2019; or 
&#x2018;rc-input-format&#x2019;.</p></div>

Snapshots</a> <font size="4"><a href="#toc">[Back to TOC]</a></font></h2>
+<p>An external data snapshot represents the status of a dataset&#x2019;s files 
in HDFS at a point in time. Upon creating the first index over an external 
dataset, AsterixDB captures and stores a snapshot of the dataset in HDFS. Only 
objects present at the snapshot capture time are indexed, and any additional 
indexes created afterwards will only contain data that was present at the 
snapshot capture time thus preserving consistency across all indexes of a 
dataset. To update all indexes of an external dataset and advance the snapshot 
time to be the present time, a user can use the refresh external dataset 
command as follows:</p>
+
+<div>
+<div>
+<pre class="source">    refresh external dataset DatasetName;
+</pre></div></div>
+
+<p>After a refresh operation commits, all of the dataset&#x2019;s indexes will 
reflect the status of the data as of the new snapshot capture time.</p></div>

+<h2><a name="Frequently_Asked_Questions_.5BBack_to_TOC.5D"></a><a name="FAQ" 
id="FAQ">Frequently Asked Questions</a> <font size="4"><a href="#toc">[Back to 
TOC]</a></font></h2>
+<p>Q. I added data to my dataset in HDFS, Will the dataset indexes in 
AsterixDB be updated automatically?</p>
+<p>A. No, you must use the refresh external dataset statement to make the 
indexes aware of any changes in the dataset files in HDFS.</p>
+<p>Q. Why doesn&#x2019;t AsterixDB update external indexes automatically?</p>
+<p>A. Since external data is managed by other users/systems with mechanisms 
that are system dependent, AsterixDB has no way of knowing exactly when data is 
added or deleted in HDFS, so the responsibility of refreshing indexes are left 
to the user. A user can use internal datasets for which AsterixDB manages the 
data and its indexes.</p>
+<p>Q. I created an index over an external dataset and then added some data to 
my HDFS dataset. Will a query that uses the index return different results from 
a query that doesn&#x2019;t use the index?</p>
+<p>A. No, queries&#x2019; results are access path independent and the stored 
snapshot is used to determines which data are going to be included when 
processing queries.</p>
+<p>Q. I created an index over an external dataset and then deleted some of my 
dataset&#x2019;s files in HDFS, Will indexed data access still return the 
objects in deleted files?</p>
+<p>A. No. When AsterixDB accesses external data, with or without the use of 
indexes, it only access files present in the file system at runtime.</p>
+<p>Q. I submitted a refresh command on a an external dataset and a failure 
occurred, What has happened to my indexes?</p>
+<p>A. External Indexes Refreshes are treated as a single transaction. In case 
of a failure, a rollback occurs and indexes are restored to their previous 
state. An error message with the cause of failure is returned to the user.</p>
+<p>Q. I was trying to refresh an external dataset while some queries were 
accessing the data using index access method. Will the queries be affected by 
the refresh operation?</p>
+<p>A. Queries have access to external dataset indexes state at the time where 
the queries are submitted. A query that was submitted before a refresh commits 
will only access data under the snapshot taken before the refresh; queries that 
are submitted after the refresh commits will access data under the snapshot 
taken after the refresh.</p>
+<p>Q. What happens when I try to create an additional index while a refresh 
operation is in progress or vice versa?</p>
+<p>A. The create index operation will wait until the refresh commits or aborts 
and then the index will be built according to the external data snapshot at the 
end of the refresh operation. Creating indexes and refreshing datasets are 
mutually exclusive operations and will not be run in parallel. Multiple indexes 
can be created in parallel, but not multiple refresh operations.</p></div>

+<p>Traditional relational databases usually employ conventional index 
structures such as B+ trees due to their low read latency.  However, such 
traditional index structures use in-place writes to perform updates, resulting 
in costly random writes to disk. Today&#x2019;s emerging applications often 
involve insert-intensive workloads for which the cost of random writes 
prohibits efficient ingestion of data. Consequently, popular NoSQL systems such 
as Cassandra, HBase, LevelDB, BigTable, etc. have adopted Log-Structured Merge 
(LSM) Trees as their storage structure. LSM-trees avoids the cost of random 
writes by batching updates into a component of the index that resides in main 
memory &#x2013; an <i>in-memory component</i>. When the space occupancy of the 
in-memory component exceeds a specified threshold, its entries are 
<i>flushed</i> to disk forming a new component &#x2013; a <i>disk 
component</i>. As disk components accumulate on disk, they are periodically 
merged together subject to
  a <i>merge policy</i> that decides when and what to merge. The benefit of the 
LSM-trees comes at the cost of possibly sacrificing read efficiency, but, it 
has been shown in previous studies that these inefficiencies can be mostly 
mitigated.</p>
+<p>AsterixDB has also embraced LSM-trees, not just by using them as primary 
indexes, but also by using the same LSM-ification technique for all of its 
secondary index structures. In particular, AsterixDB adopted a generic 
framework for converting a class of indexes (that includes conventional B+ 
trees, R trees, and inverted indexes) into LSM-based secondary indexes, 
allowing higher data ingestion rates. In fact, for certain index structures, 
our results have shown that using an LSM-based version of an index can be made 
to significantly outperform its conventional counterpart for <i>both</i> 
ingestion and query speed (an example of such an index being the R-tree for 
spatial data).</p>
+<p>Since an LSM-based index naturally partitions data into multiple disk 
components, it is possible, when answering certain queries, to exploit 
partitioning to only access some components and safely filter out the remaining 
components, thus reducing query times. For instance, referring to our <a 
href="primer.html#ADM:_Modeling_Semistructed_Data_in_AsterixDB">TinySocial</a> 
example, suppose a user always retrieves tweets from the <tt>TweetMessages</tt> 
dataset based on the <tt>send-time</tt> field (e.g., tweets posted in the last 
24 hours). Since there is not a secondary index on the <tt>send-time</tt> 
field, the only available option for AsterixDB would be to scan the whole 
<tt>TweetMessages</tt> dataset and then apply the predicate as a 
post-processing step. However, if disk components of the primary index were 
tagged with the minimum and maximum timestamp values of the objects they 
contain, we could utilize the tagged information to directly access the primary 
index and prune comp
 onents that do not match the query predicate. Thus, we could save substantial 
cost by avoiding scanning the whole dataset and only access the relevant 
components. We simply call such tagging information that are associated with 
components, filters. (Note that even if there were a secondary index on 
<tt>send-time</tt> field, using filters could save substantial cost by avoiding 
accessing the secondary index, followed by probing the primary index for every 
fetched entry.) Moreover, the same filtering technique can also be used with 
any secondary LSM index (e.g., an LSM R-tree), in case the query contains 
multiple predicates (e.g., spatial and temporal predicates), to obtain similar 
pruning power.</p></div>

+<p>Filters can be created on any totally ordered datatype (i.e., any field 
that can be indexed using a B+ -tree), such as integers, doubles, floats, 
UUIDs, datetimes, etc.</p>
+<p>When a dataset with a filter is created, the name of the filter&#x2019;s 
key field is persisted in the <tt>Metadata.Dataset</tt> dataset (which is the 
metadata dataset that stores the details of each dataset in an AsterixDB 
instance) so that DML operations against the dataset can recognize the 
existence of filters and can update them or utilize them accordingly. Creating 
a dataset with a filter in AsterixDB implies that the primary and all secondary 
indexes of that dataset will maintain filters on their disk components. Once a 
filtered dataset is created, the user can use the dataset normally (just like 
any other dataset). AsterixDB will automatically maintain the filters and will 
leverage them to efficiently answer queries whenever possible (i.e., when a 
query has predicates on the filter&#x2019;s key).</p></div></div></div>

Policies</a> <font size="4"><a href="#toc">[Back to TOC]</a></font></h2>
+<p>The AsterixDB default merge policy, the prefix merge policy, relies on 
component sizes and the number of components to decide which components to 
merge. This merge policy has proven to provide excellent performance for both 
ingestion and queries. However, when evaluating our filtering solution with the 
prefix policy, we observed a behavior that can reduce filter effectiveness. In 
particular, we noticed that under the prefix merge policy, the disk components 
of a secondary index tend to be constantly merged into a single component. This 
is because the prefix policy relies on a single size parameter for all of the 
indexes of a dataset. This parameter is typically chosen based on the sizes of 
the disk components of the primary index, which tend to be much larger than the 
sizes of the secondary indexes&#x2019; disk components. This difference caused 
the prefix merge policy to behave similarly to the constant merge policy (i.e., 
relatively poorly) when applied to secondary indexes in 
 the sense that the secondary indexes are constantly merged into a single disk 
component. Consequently, the effectiveness of filters on secondary indexes was 
greatly reduced under the prefix-merge policy, but they were still effective 
when probing the primary index.  Based on this behavior, we developed a new 
merge policy, an improved version of the prefix policy, called the 
correlated-prefix policy. The basic idea of this policy is that it delegates 
the decision of merging the disk components of all the indexes in a dataset to 
the primary index. When the policy decides that the primary index needs to be 
merged (using the same decision criteria as for the prefix policy), then it 
will issue successive merge requests to the I/O scheduler on behalf of all 
other indexes associated with the same dataset. The end result is that 
secondary indexes will always have the same number of disk components as their 
primary index under the correlated-prefix merge policy. This has improved query 
perfo
 rmance, since disk components of secondary indexes now have a much better 
chance of being pruned.</p></div>
