Indexing

Indexing mechanisms are used to speed up access todesired data.

For instance, an author catalog in a library

In a database, they serve the same purpose

An index file consists of records (called index entries) ofthe form

search-key pointer

A search key is an attribute or set of attributes used tolook up records in a file

Index files are typically much smaller than the original file

Index Evaluation Metrics

Indices are chosen according to:

Access types supported efficiently

records with a specified value in the attributeor records with an attribute value falling in a specifiedrange of values

Access time

Insertion time

Deletion time

Space overhead

Types of Indices

Primary index: in a sequentially ordered file, the indexwhose search key specifies the sequential order of the file

Also called clustering indexThe search key of a primary index is usually but notnecessarily the primary key.Index-sequential file: ordered sequential file with a primaryindex

Secondary index: an index whose search key specifies anorder different from the sequential order of the file

Also called non-clustering index

Sparse Index Files (cont.)

Applicable when records are sequentially ordered onsearch-key

To locate a record with search-key value K we:

Find index record with largest search-key value < KSearch file sequentially starting at the record to which theindex record points

Less space and less maintenance overhead for insertionsand deletions

Generally slower than dense index for locating records

Good tradeoff: sparse index with an index entry for everyblock in file, corresponding to least search-key value in theblock

Multilevel Index

If primary index does not fit in memory, access becomesexpensive

To reduce number of disk accesses to index records, treatprimary index kept on disk as a sequential file andconstruct a sparse index on it

outer index - a sparse index of primary indexinner index - the primary index file

If even outer index is too large to fit in main memory, yetanother level of index can be created, and so on

Indices at all levels must be updated on insertion ordeletion from the file

1 Replace the index record with an index record for the nextsearch-key.

2 If the next search-key already has an index entry, deleteinstead of replacing

2 Otherwise, if the index record points to the deleted record,update pointer to the next record

Note: Multilevel insertion and deletion algorithms are simple extensions of

the single-level algorithms

Secondary Indices

Frequently, one wants to find all the records whose valuesin a certain field (which is not the search-key of theprimary index) satisfy some condition

Example 1: In the account relation stored sequentially byaccount number, we may want to find all accounts in aparticular branchExample 2: as above, but where we want to find allaccounts with a specified balance or range of balances

We can have a secondary index with an index record foreach search-key value

Index record points to a bucket that contains pointers toall the actual records with that particular search-key value

Primary and Secondary Indices

Indices offer substantial benefits when searching for records

When a file is modified, every index on the file must beupdated, Updating indices imposes overhead on databasemodification

Sequential scan using primary index is efficient, but asequential scan using a secondary index is expensive

each record access may fetch a new block from disk

B+-Tree Index Files

B+-tree indices are an alternative to indexed-sequential files

Disadvantage of indexed-sequential files:

Performance degrades as file growsPeriodic reorganization of entire file is required

Advantage of B+-tree index files:

Automatically reorganizes itself with small, local, changes,in the face of insertions and deletionsReorganization of entire file is not required to maintainperformance

Disadvantage of B+-trees: extra insertion and deletionoverhead, space overhead

Advantages of B+-trees outweigh disadvantages, and theyare used extensively

Structure of a B+-Tree

A B+-tree is a rooted tree satisfying the following properties:

All paths from root to leaf are of the same length

Each node that is not a root or a leaf has between n/2and n children

A leaf node has between (n − 1)/2 and n − 1 values

Special cases:

If the root is not a leaf, it has at least 2 childrenIf the root is a leaf (that is, there are no other nodes in thetree), it can have between 0 and n − 1 values

B+-Tree Node Structure

Typical node:

P1 K1 P2 . . . Pn−1 Kn−1 Pn

Ki are the search-key valuesPi are pointers to children (for non-leaf nodes) or pointersto records or buckets of records (for leaf nodes)

The search-keys in a node are ordered

K1 < K2 < K3 < · · · < Kn−1

Leaf Nodes in B+-Trees

Properties of a leaf node:For i = 1, 2, . . . , n − 1, pointer Pi either points to a filerecord with search-key value Ki , or to a bucket of pointersto file records, each record having search-key value Ki

Only needs bucket structure if search-key does not form aprimary key

If Li , Lj are leaf nodes and i < j , Li ’s search-key values areless than Lj ’s search-key values

Pn points to next leaf node in search-key order

Non-Leaf Nodes in B+-Trees

Non leaf nodes form a multi-level sparse index on the leafnodes

For a non-leaf node with m pointers:

All the search-keys in the subtree to which P1 points areless than K1

For 2 ≤ i ≤ m − 1, all the search-keys in the subtree towhich Pi points have values greater than or equal to Ki−1

and less than Ki

All the search-keys in the subtree to which Pm points aregreater than Km−1

P1 K1 P2 . . . Pm−1 Km−1 Pm

Observations about B+-trees

Since the inter-node connections are done by pointers,“logically” close blocks need not be “physically” close

The non-leaf levels of the B+-tree form a hierarchy ofsparse indices

The B+-tree contains a relatively small number of levels(logarithmic in the size of the main file), thus searches canbe conducted efficiently

Insertions and deletions to the main file can be handledefficiently, as the index can be restructured in logarithmictime

Queries on B+-Trees

To find all records with a search-key value of k :1 Start with the root node

1 Examine the node for the smallest search-key value > k.2 If such a value exists (assume it is Ki ), then follow Pi to

the child node3 Otherwise follow Pm to the child node (k ≥ Km−1, where

there are m pointers in the node)

2 If the node reached by following the pointer above is not aleaf node, repeat step 1 on the node

3 Else we have reached a leaf node1 If for some i , key Ki = k follow pointer Pi to the desired

record or bucket2 Else no record with search-key value k exists

Queries on B+-Trees (cont.)

In processing a query, a path is traversed in the tree fromthe root to some leaf node

If there are K search-key values in the file, the path is nolonger than dlogdn/2e(K )eA node is generally the same size as a disk block, typically4 kilobytes, and n is typically around 100 (40 bytes perindex entry)

With 1 million search key values and n = 100, at mostlog50(1 000 000) = 4 nodes are accessed in a lookup

Contrast this with a balanced binary tree with 1 millionsearch key values—around 20 nodes are accessed in alookupThe above difference is significant since every node accessmay need a disk I/O

Insertion on a B+-Tree

Find the leaf node in which the search-key value wouldappear

If the search-key value is already there in the leaf node,record is added to file and if necessary a pointer is insertedinto the bucket.

If the search-key value is not there, then add the record tothe main file and create a bucket if necessary. Then:

If there is room in the leaf node, insert (key-value, pointer)pair in the leaf nodeOtherwise, split the node (along with the new (key-value,pointer) entry)

Splitting a Node

To split a node:1 take the n (search-key,pointer) pairs (including the one

being inserted) in sorted order2 place the first dn/2e in the original node, and the rest in a

new node3 let the new node be p, and let k be the smallest key value

in p4 Insert (k ,p) in the parent of the node being split5 If the parent is full, split it and propagate the split further

up

When splitting a non-leaf node, the dn/2e-th value ispushed up to the parent and deleted from the node

The splitting of nodes proceeds upwards till a node that isnot full is found

In the worst case the root node may be split increasing theheight of the tree by 1

Deletion on a B+-Tree

1 Find the record to be deleted, and remove it from themain file and from the bucket (if present)

2 Remove (search-key value,pointer) from the leaf node ifthere is no bucket or if the bucket has become empty

3 If the node has too few entries due to the removal, andthe entries in the node and a sibling fit into a single node,then

1 Insert all the search-key values in the two nodes into asingle node and delete the other node.

2 Delete the pair (Ki−1,Pi ), where Pi is the pointer to thedeleted node, from its parent, recursively using the aboveprocedure.

Deletion on a B+-Tree(cont.)

If the node has too few entries due to the removal, but theentries in the node and a sibling do not fit into a singlenode, then

1 Redistribute the pointers between the node and a siblingsuch that both have more than the minimum number ofentries

2 Update the corresponding search-key value in the parent ofthe node

The node deletions may cascade upwards till a node whichhas dn/2e or more pointers is found

If the root node has only one pointer after deletion, it isdeleted and the sole child becomes the root

Static Hashing

A bucket is a unit of storage containing one or morerecords (a bucket is typically a disk block)

In a hash file organization we obtain the bucket of a recorddirectly from its search-key value using a hash function

Hash function h is a function from the set of all search-keyvalues K to the set of all bucket addresses B

Hash function is used to locate records for access,insertion, and deletion

Records with different search-key values may be mappedto the same bucket; thus entire bucket has to be searchedsequentially to locate a record

Worst hash function maps all search-key values to thesame bucket

An ideal hash function is uniform: each bucket is assignedthe same number of search-key values from the set of allpossible values

An ideal hash function is random: each bucket will havethe same number of records assigned to it irrespective ofthe actual distribution of search-key values in the file

Typical hash functions perform computation on theinternal binary representation of the search-key.

For example, for a string search-key, the binaryrepresentations of all the characters in the string could beadded and the sum modulo the number of buckets couldbe returned

Handling of Bucket Overflows

Bucket overflow can occur because of

Insufficient bucketsSkew in distribution of records. This can occur due to tworeasons:

multiple records have same search-key valuechosen hash function produces non-uniform distribution ofkey values

Although the probability of bucket overflow can bereduced, it cannot be eliminated; it is handled by usingoverflow buckets

Handling of Bucket Overflows (cont.)

Overflow chaining - the overflow buckets of a given bucket arechained together in a linked list

Above scheme is called closed hashingAn alternative, called open hashing (linear probing), which doesnot use overflow buckets, is not suitable for databaseapplications

Hash Indices

Hashing can be used not only for file organization, butalso for index-structure creation

A hash index organizes the search keys, with theirassociated record pointers, into a hash file structure

Strictly speaking, hash indices are always secondary indices

if the file itself is organized using hashing, a separateprimary hash index on it using the same search-key isunnecessaryhowever, we use the term hash index to refer to bothsecondary index structures and hash organized files

Deficiencies of Static Hashing

In static hashing, function h maps search-key values to afixed set of B of bucket addresses

Databases grow with time. If initial number of buckets istoo small, performance will degrade due to too muchoverflows

If file size at some point in the future is anticipated andnumber of buckets allocated accordingly, significantamount of space will be wasted initially

If database shrinks, again space will be wasted

One option is periodic re-organization of the file with anew hash function, but it is very expensive

These problems can be avoided by using techniques thatallow the number of buckets to be modified dynamically

Dynamic Hashing

Good for database that grows and shrinks in size

Allows the hash function to be modified dynamically

Extendable hashing — one form of dynamic hashing

Hash function generates values over a large range —typically b-bit integers, with b = 32At any time use only a prefix of the hash function to indexinto a table of bucket addressesLet the length of the prefix be i bits, 0 ≤ i ≤ 32Bucket address table size = 2i . Initially i = 0Value of i grows and shrinks as the size of the databasegrows and shrinksMultiple entries in the bucket address table may point to abucketThus, actual number of buckets is < 2i

The number of buckets also changes dynamically due tocoalescing and splitting of buckets

Use of Extendable Hash Structure

Each bucket j stores a value ij ; all the entries that point tothe same bucket have the same values on the first ij bits

To locate the bucket containing search-key Kj :1 Compute h(Kj) = X2 Use the first i high order bits of X as a displacement into

bucket address table, and follow the pointer to appropriatebucket

To insert a record with search-key value Kj

follow same procedure as look-up and locate the bucket,say jIf there is room in the bucket j insert record in the bucketElse the bucket must be split and insertion re-attempted

Overflow buckets used instead in some cases

Updates in Extendable Hash Structure

To split a bucket j when inserting record with search-key valueKj :

If i = ij (only one pointer to bucket j)

increment i and double the size of the bucket address tablereplace each entry in the table by two entries that point tothe same bucketrecompute new bucket address table entry for Kj

Now i > ij so use the following case

If i > ij (more than one pointer to bucket j)

allocate a new bucket z , and set ij and iz to the old ij + 1make the second half of the bucket address table entriespointing to j to point to zremove and reinsert each record in bucket jrecompute new bucket for Kj and insert record in thebucket (further splitting is required if the bucket is still full)

Updates in Extendable Hash Structure (cont.)

When inserting a value, if the bucket is full after severalsplits (that is, i reaches some limit b) create an overflowbucket instead of splitting bucket entry table further

To delete a key value,

locate it in its bucket and remove itthe bucket itself can be removed if it becomes empty (withappropriate updates to the bucket address table)Coalescing of buckets can be done (can coalesce only witha “buddy” bucket having same value of ij and same ij − 1prefix, if it is present)Decreasing bucket address table size is also possible

Note: decreasing bucket address table size is an expensiveoperation and should be done only if number of bucketsbecomes much smaller than the size of the table

Hashing vs. Ordered Indices

Several issues must be considered:

Cost of periodic re-organization

Relative frequency of insertions and deletions

Is it desirable to optimize average access time at theexpense of worst-case access time?

Expected type of queries:

Hashing is generally better at retrieving records having aspecified value of the keyIf range queries are common, ordered indices are to bepreferred

Multiple-Key Access

Use multiple indices for certain types of queries

Example

select account numberfrom accountwhere branch name = ”Perryridge” and balance = 1000

Possible strategies for processing query using indices onsingle attributes:

1 Use index on branch name to findbranch name = ”Perryridge”; test for balance = $1000

2 Use index on balance to find balance = $1000; test forbranch name = ”Perryridge”

3 Use branch name index to find pointers to all recordspertaining to the Perryridge branch; similarly, use index onbalance; take intersection of both sets of pointers obtained

Examples

With the where clause

where branch name = ”Perryridge” and balance = 1000

the index can be used to fetch only records that satisfyboth conditions

Using separate indices in less efficient — we may fetchmany records that satisfy only one of the conditions.

Can also efficiently handle

where branch name = ”Perryridge” and balance < 1000

But cannot efficiently handle

where branch name < ”Perryridge” and balance = 1000

May fetch many records that satisfy the first but not thesecond condition

Bitmap Indices

Special type of index designed for efficient querying onmultiple keys

Records in a relation are assumed to be numberedsequentially

Given a number n it must be easy to retrieve record nParticularly easy if records are of fixed size

Applicable on attributes that take on a relatively smallnumber of distinct values

E.g. gender, country, state, . . .E.g. income-level (income broken up into a small numberof levels such as 0–9999, 10000–19999, 20000–50000,50000–∞)

Bitmap Index Structure

A bitmap is simply an array of bits

A bitmap index on an attribute has a bitmap for eachvalue of the attribute

Bitmap has as many bits as recordsIn a bitmap for value v , the bit for a record is 1 if therecord has the value v for the attribute, and is 0 otherwise

Using Bitmap Indices

Bitmap indices are useful for queries on multiple attributesnot particularly useful for single attribute queries

Queries are answered using bitmap operationsIntersection (and)Union (or)Complementation (not)

Each operation takes two bitmaps of the same size andapplies the operation on corresponding bits to get theresult bitmap

Example

Males with income level L1:10010 AND 10100 = 10000

Can then retrieve required tuplesCounting number of matching tuples is even faster

Size of Bitmap Indices

Bitmap indices generally very small compared with relationsize

E.g. if record is 100 bytes, space for a single bitmap is1/800 of space used by relation.If number of distinct attribute values is 8, bitmap is only1% of relation size

Deletion needs to be handled properly

Existence bitmap to note if there is a valid record at arecord locationNeeded for complementation

Should keep bitmaps for all values, even null value

Implementation of Bitmap Indices

Bitmaps are packed into words; we can compute 32 or 64bit operations at once

E.g. 1-million-bit maps can be andled with just 31, 250instructions

Counting number of 1s can be done fast

Bitmaps can be used instead of Tuple-ID lists at leaf levelsof B+-tree, for values that have a large number ofmatching records

Worthwhile if > 1/64 of the records have that value,assuming a tuple-id is 64 bitsMerges benefits of bitmap and B+-tree indices
