Abstract
A system and computer implemented method for execution of aggregation expressions on a distributed non-relational database system is provided. According to one aspect, an aggregation operation may be provided that permits more complex operations using separate collections. For instance, it may be desirable to create a report from one collection using information grouped according to information stored in another collection. Such a capability may be provided within other conventional database systems, however, in a non-relational database system such as NoSQL, the system is not capable of performing server-side joins, such a capability may not be performed without denormalizing the attributes into each object that references it, or by performing application-level joins which is not efficient and leads to unnecessarily complex code within the application that interfaces with the NoSQL database system.
