A Model&DBMS Independent Benchmark for Data Warehouses
Abstract
NoSQL systems support new data models, which propose alternative
models to the well-known relational models, and query languages. Due to the
lack of a well-accepted logical model for DataWarehouses (DWs), some prelim-
inaries works proposes extensions/redefinition of relational star and snow-flake
schemata for NoSQL families. However, many other modeling possibilities re-
main unexplored, and it is difficult to compare these proposals because of the
lack of a well-recognized benchmarking framework for DWs. In this paper, we
propose a generic extension of the relational Star Schema Benchmark, called
GenSSB, to handle any kind of DBMS in terms of logical models. We validate
our framework by instantiating GenSSB for some different logical models and
DBMSs.
