Abstract

Data location-based query optimization for scan operators in a large-scale distributed database system is disclosed. In various embodiments, a set of query processing segments to be used to process a query is identified. It is determined for each of a plurality of data blocks to be scanned to process the query a corresponding storage location in which the data block is stored in a distributed storage system. Each of the plurality of data blocks is assigned to be scanned by a query processing segment selected based at least in part on a location of the query processing segment relative to the corresponding storage location in which the data block is stored.
