Odysseus: A high-performance ORDBMS tightly-coupled with IR features

Abstract

We propose the notion of tight-coupling [8] to add new data types into the DBMS engine. In this paper, we introduce the Odysseus ORDBMS and present its tightly-coupled IR features (U.S. patented). We demonstrate a web search engine capable of managing 20 million web pages in a non-parallel configuration using Odysseus.
