Abstract
Techniques for a system capable of performing low-latency database query processing are disclosed herein. The system includes a gateway server and a plurality of worker nodes. The gateway server is configured to divide a database query, for a database containing data stored in a distributed storage cluster having a plurality of data nodes, into a plurality of partial queries and construct a query result based on a plurality of intermediate results. Each worker node of the plurality of worker nodes is configured to process a respective partial query of the plurality of partial queries by scanning data related to the respective partial query that stored on at least one data node of the distributed storage cluster and generate an intermediate result of the plurality of intermediate results that is stored in a memory of that worker node.
