What is a Logical Data Warehouse?
A logical data warehouse is a data system that follows
the ideas of traditional EDW (star or snowflake schemas)
and includes, in addition to one (or more) core DWs,
data from external sources.
The main motivations are improved decision making
and/or cost reduction

Logical Data Warehouse
Description:
 “The Logical Data Warehouse (LDW) is a new data management architecture for
analytics combining the strengths of traditional repository warehouses with
alternative data management and access strategy. The LDW will form a new
best practice by the end of 2015.”
 “The LDW is an evolution and augmentation of DW practices, not a replacement”
 “A repository-only style DW contains a single ontology/taxonomy, whereas in the
LDW a semantic layer can contain many combination of use cases, many
business definitions of the same information”
 “The LDW permits an IT organization to make a large number of datasets
available for analysis via query tools and applications.”

The State and Future of Data Integration. Gartner, 25 may 2016
Physical data movement architectures that aren’t designed to
support the dynamic nature of business change, volatile
requirements and massive data volume are increasingly being
replaced by data virtualization.
Evolving approaches (such as the use of LDW architectures) include
implementations beyond repository-centric techniques

What about the Logical Data Lake?
A Data Lake will not have a star or snowflake schema, but rather a more
heterogeneous collection of views with raw data from heterogeneous
sources
The virtual layer will act as a common umbrella under which these
different sources are presented to the end user as a single system
However, from the virtualization perspective, a Virtual Data Lake shares
many technical aspects with a LDW and most of these contents also
apply to a Logical Data Lake

Different Types, Different

Common Patterns for a Logical Data Warehouse

20
Common Patterns for a Logical Data Warehouse
1. The Virtual Data Mart
2. DW + MDM
 Data Warehouse extended with master data
3. DW + Cloud
 Data Warehouse extended with cloud data
4. DW + DW
 Integration of multiple Data Warehouse
5. DW historical offloading
 DW horizontal partitioning with historical data in cheaper storage
6. Slim DW extension
 DW vertical partitioning with rarely used data in cheaper storage

21
Virtual Data Marts
Business friendly models defined on top of one or multiple systems,
often “flavored” for a particular division
Motivation
 Hide complexity of star schemas for business users
 Simplify model for a particular vertical
 Reuse semantic models and security across multiple reporting engines
Typical queries
 Simple projections, filters and aggregations on top of curated “fat tables”
that merge data from facts and many dimensions
Simplified semantic models for business users

23
DW + MDM
Slim dimensions with extended information maintained in an external
MDM system
Motivation
 Keep a single copy of golden records in the MDM that can be reused across
systems and managed in a single place
Typical queries
 Join a large fact table (DW) with several MDM dimensions, aggregations on
top
Example
 Revenue by customer, projecting the address from the MDM

24
DW + MDM dimensions

EDW MDM

25
DW + Cloud dimensional data
Fresh data from cloud systems (e.g. SFDC) is mixed with the EDW, usually
on the dimensions. DW is sometimes also in the cloud.
Motivation
 Take advantage of “fresh” data coming straight from SaaS systems
 Avoid local replication of cloud systems
Typical queries
 Dimensions are joined with cloud data to filter based on some external attribute
not available (or not current) in the EDW
Example
 Report on current revenue on accounts where the potential for an expansion is
higher than 80%

27
Multiple DW integration
Motivation
 Merges and acquisitions
 Different DWs by department
 Transition to new EDW Deployments (migration to Spark, Redshift, etc.)
Typical queries
 Joins across fact tables in different DW with aggregations before or after the JOIN
Example
 Get customers with a purchases higher than 100 USD that do not have a fidelity
card (purchases and fidelity card data in different DW)
Use of multiple DW as if it was only one

29
DW Historical Partitioning
Only the most current data (e.g. last year) is in the EDW. Historical data is
offloaded to a Hadoop cluster
Motivations
 Reduce storage cost
 Transparently use the two datasets as if they were all together
Typical queries
 Facts are defined as a partitioned UNION based on date
 Queries join the “virtual fact” with dimensions and aggregate on top
Example
 Queries on current date only need to go to the DW, but longer timespans need to merge
with Hadoop
Horizontal partitioning

Slim DW extension
Minimal DW, with more complete raw data in a Hadoop cluster
Motivation
 Reduce cost
 Transparently use the two datasets as if they were all together
Typical queries
 Tables are defined virtually as 1-to-1 joins between the two systems
 Queries join the facts with dimensions and aggregate on top
Example
 Common queries only need to go to the DW, but some queries need attributes or
measures from Hadoop

34
It is a common assumption that a virtualized solution will
be much slower than a persisted approach via ETL:
1. There is a large amount of data moved through the
network for each query
2. Network transfer is slow
But is this really true?

35
Debunking the myths of virtual performance
1. Complex queries can be solved transferring moderate data volumes when
the right techniques are applied
 Operational queries
 Predicate delegation produces small result sets
 Logical Data Warehouse and Big Data
 Denodo uses characteristics of underlying star schemas to apply
query rewriting rules that maximize delegation to specialized sources
(especially heavy GROUP BY) and minimize data movement
2. Current networks are almost as fast as reading from disk
 10GB and 100GB Ethernet are a commodity

36

Performance and optimizations in Denodo
Focused on 3 core concepts
Dynamic Multi-Source Query Execution Plans
Leverages processing power & architecture of data sources
Dynamic to support ad hoc queries
Uses statistics for cost-based query plans
Selective Materialization
Intelligent Caching of only the most relevant and often used
information
Optimized Resource Management
Smart allocation of resources to handle high concurrency
Throttling to control and mitigate source impact
Resource plans based on rules

39
Performance and optimizations in Denodo
Comparing optimizations in DV vs ETL
Although Data Virtualization is a data integration platform,
architecturally speaking it is more similar to a RDBMs
Uses relational logic
Metadata is equivalent to that of a database
Enables ad hoc querying
Key difference between ETL engines and DV:
ETL engines are optimized for static bulk movements
Fixed data flows
Data virtualization is optimized for queries
Dynamic execution plan per query
Therefore, the performance architecture presented here
resembles that of a RDBMS

41
Step by Step
Metadata
Query Tree
• Maps query entities (tables, fields) to actual metadata
• Retrieves execution capabilities and restrictions for views involved
in the query
Static
Optimizer
• Query delegation
• SQL rewriting rules (removal of redundant filters, tree pruning, join
reordering, transformation push-up, star-schema rewritings, etc.)
• Data movement query plans
Cost Based
Optimizer
• Picks optimal JOIN methods and orders based on data distribution
statistics, indexes, transfer rates, etc.
Physical
Execution Plan
• Creates the calls to the underlying systems in their corresponding
protocols and dialects (SQL, MDX, WS calls, etc.)
How Dynamic Query Optimizer Works

Example: Total sales by retailer and product during the last month for the brand ACME
Retailer

sales.retailer_fk = retailer.id
JOIN product ON sales.product_fk =

JOIN time ON sales.time_fk = time.id
WHERE time.date < ADDMONTH(NOW(),-1)
AND product.brand = ‘ACME’
GROUP BY product.name, retailer.name

43

SELECT

45
Step 2

(1-to-many), and the GROUP BY is
on attributes from the dimensions,
it applies the partial aggregation
push down optimization
sales.product_fk,
SUM(sales.amount)
time.date <
GROUP BY sales.retailer_fk,
sales.product_fk

sales.product_fk
WHERE product.id IN (1,2,…)
SELECT

FROM retailer

FROM product
WHERE

1. Automatic JOIN reordering
 Groups branches that go to the same source to maximize query delegation and reduce processing in the DV
layer
 End users don’t need to worry about the optimal “pairing” of the tables
2. The Partial Aggregation push-down optimization is key in those scenarios. Based on
PK-FK restrictions, pushes the aggregation (for the PKs) to the DW
 Leverages the processing power of the DW, optimized for these aggregations
 Reduces significantly the data transferred through the network (from 1 b to 10 k)
3. The Cost-based Optimizer picks the right JOIN strategies based on estimations on data
volumes, existence of indexes, transfer rates, etc.
 Denodo estimates costs in a different way for parallel databases (Vertica, Netezza, Teradata) than for regular
databases to take into consideration the different way those systems operate (distributed data, parallel
processing, different aggregation techniques, etc.)
47
Summary

Automatic data movement
 Creation of temp tables in one of the systems to enable complete delegation
 Only considered as an option if the target source has the “data movement” option
enabled
 Use of native bulk load APIs for better performance
Execution Alternatives
 If a view exist in more than one system, Denodo can decide in execution time which one
to use
 The goal is to maximize query delegation depending on the other tables involved in the
query
48
Other relevant optimization techniques for LDW and Big Data

Optimizations for Virtual Partitioning
Eliminates unnecessary queries and processing based on a pre-execution analysis of the
views and the queries
 Pruning of unnecessary JOIN branches
 Relevant for horizontal partitioning and “fat” semantic models when queries do not
need attributes for all the tables
 Pruning of unnecessary UNION branches
 Enables detection of unnecessary UNION branches in vertical partitioning scenarios
 Push down of JOIN under UNION views
 Enables the delegation of JOINs with dimensions
 Automatic Data movement for partition scenarios
 Enables the delegation of JOINs with dimensions
49
Other relevant optimization techniques for LDW and Big Data

51
Caching
Sometimes, real time access & federation not a good fit:
 Sources are slow (ex. text files, cloud apps. like Salesforce.com)
 A lot of data processing needed (ex. complex combinations, transformations,
matching, cleansing, etc.)
 Limited access or have to mitigate impact on the sources
For these scenarios, Denodo can replicate just the relevant data in
the cache
Real time vs. caching

52
Caching
Denodo’s cache system is based on an external relational database
 Traditional (Oracle, SQLServer, DB2, MySQL, etc.)
 MPP (Teradata, Netezza, Vertica, Redshift, etc.)
 In-memory storage (Oracle TimesTen, SAP HANA)
Works at view level.
 Allows hybrid access (real-time / cached) of an execution tree
Cache Control (population / maintenance)
 Manually – user initiated at any time
 Time based - using the TTL or the Denodo Scheduler
 Event based - e.g. using JMS messages triggered in the DB
