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. © 2005 IEEE.
