Abstract
Multiple execution threads process a query directed to a database organized into a plurality of files. In processing the query, a first thread downloads a file from the plurality of files. The file comprises a set of blocks. A parallel scan of the set of blocks is performed by at least the first thread and a second thread to identify data that matches the query. A response to the query is provided based in part on the parallel scan of the set of blocks.
