Abstract
A join decision manager (JDM) generates a data processing pipeline. The data processing pipeline includes at least one join operation associated with build-side row data and probe-side row data. The JDM determines the maximum cardinality associated with the probe-side row data. The JDM determines size of the build-side row data at a decision node of the at least one join operation. The JDM configures execution of the at least one join operation as one of a broadcast join or a hash-hash join based on the size of the build-side row data and the maximum cardinality.
