Abstract
Methods and systems for data management include representing, organizing, and accessing very large data sets. Embodiments describe supporting data sets of various size based on attributed data slices (ADSs) to enable reduced memory requirements, query decomposition and parallel execution, and constant execution times for concurrent queries. The ADSs can include data buckets comprising items that are grouped by an attribute key. Attribute groups can be further sorted (e.g., in ascending order) based on the attribute key. According to some embodiments, the essential structure of an ADS provides additional functionality while preserving the behavior expected of an ADS through the use of an Extension Block containing attribute location data.
