The Life of a Query, According to Henry Ford

Stupendous post by the Vertica Technical Team...

Excerpt:
While Henry Ford did not in fact develop or even patent the modern assembly line (that credit goes to Ransom E. Olds), he relied heavily on the process for automobile production.

The goal of an assembly line is to create products efficiently, accurately, and with high throughput. The same can be said for queries. You want fast, accurate results, and you want to be able to produce many at a time. Thus, we can think of an executing query as an assembly line for data.

So what goes on during a query’’s “assembly” process?
