Abstract

Systems and methods are described for reducing execution time of a query that references external data systems. The system can determine an external data system is capable of processing one or more map or reduce phases of a map-reduce operation. When it is determined that the external data system can process a map or reduce phase, associated operations may be reassigned from the system to the external data system reducing the processing resources used by the system to response to the query and, in some cases, speeding up performance of the query.
