FESTIval-v1.1
FESTIval is updated to support PostgreSQL 12 and PostGIS 2.5 (with compatibility to previous versions - PostgreSQL 9.5 and PostGIS 2.2) in this release. This means that this version is compatible with PostgreSQL >= 9.5 and PostGIS from version 2.2 to 2.5.
FESTIval allows users to:
- evaluate disk-based spatial indices (i.e., indices for magnetic disks): R-tree, R*-tree, and Hilbert R-tree.
- evaluate flash-aware spatial indices (i.e, indices for flash memories): FOR-tree, FAST-based indices, and eFIND-based indices.
- specify and execute user-defined workloads by using a unique environment.
- access an integrated data schema that stores index configurations and statistical data of executed workloads.
- use any spatial dataset in experiments. Default spatial datasets are also provided.
- reproduce executed workloads.
FESTIval manages a schema in the PostgreSQL called fds. This schema is automatically created by the FESTIval when the CREATE EXTENSION command is executed in a database. By using this schema, it is possible to collect and compare statistical data of different indices and analyze their performance results.
