Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing user-defined functions in containers. One example system receives a query written in a primary query language that calls a user-defined function. The system assigns primary segment hosts to process portions of the query written in the primary query language and assigns first containers to process the call to the user-defined function. The primary segment hosts provide to the first containers the user-defined function and one or more arguments in the call to the user-defined function. The first containers execute the user-defined function. The primary segment hosts receive an initial result of the call to the user-defined function computed by the first containers. The primary segment hosts compute a final result of the query using the initial result. The primary segment hosts provide the final result of the query in response to receiving the query.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, medium, and system for global deadlock detection in a hybrid database for transactional and analytical workloads are disclosed. In one computer-implemented method, a daemon is launched on a coordinator segment in a massively parallel processing (MPP) database, where the MPP database is a hybrid database for both transactional workloads and analytical workloads. A respective local wait-for graph for each of a plurality of segments in the MPP database is collected periodically, where each of the plurality of segments includes the coordinator segment or a worker segment of a plurality of worker segments in the MPP database. A global wait-for graph that includes all collected local wait-for graphs is built. The global wait-for graph is used to determine that a global deadlock exists in the MPP database. The global deadlock is broken using one or more predefined policies in response to determining that the global deadlock exists.
