Abstract

Query-adaptive XML indexing has been proposed and shown to be an efficient way to accelerate XML query processing, because it dynamically adapts to the workload. However, existing adaptive index lack of support for branching queries, and also with low efficiency for query processing and adaptation operations. In this paper, we propose a new Adaptive index for Branching queries, which is named as AB-Index. It is designed to support XML path queries with branching predicates. Efficient index construction, query processing, and index adaptation algorithms are proposed for AB-Index. In the experiments, the proposed index is demonstrated to outperform the state-of-the-art approach in the area of adaptive index in terms of query and adaptation efficiencies.
