Apparatus and method for recommending and maintaining analytical views

Abstract:

A system has a distributed database with database partitions distributed across worker nodes connected by a network. An analytical view recommendation engine defines an analytical view comprising attributes and measures defined prior to the receipt of a query. The analytical view is maintained as a data unit separate from the distributed database. The analytical view recommendation engine includes instructions executed by a processor to identify a poorly performing report, evaluate queries associated with the poorly performing report, create a recommended analytical view to enhance the performance of the poorly performing report, and deploy the recommended analytical view.
