Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method, system, or non-transitory computer readable medium for evaluating a query on a columnar dataset comprising one or more dictionaries associated with columns in the dataset. The method includes receiving a request to perform a query comprising at least a operator and a request to return information about a value of interest in a columnar dataset stored on cloud storage. At least one column in the columnar dataset is based on a dictionary. The dictionary maps one or more values for a column to one or more respective identifiers. The method determines whether to perform dictionary filtering for the query by calculating a metric based on one or more factors. Responsive to the metric being below a threshold, which may be predetermined, the method performs the dictionary filtering.
