# Convolution and Cross-Correlation of Count Sketches Enables Fast Cardinality Estimation of Multi-Join Queries

This repository contains the source code, extended results, and cardinality estimates for the experiments of the research paper published at the International Conference on Management of Data (SIGMOD) 2024.

## Requirements

The code is written in Python 3.10. The required packages to run the experiments can be found in `requirements.txt`. To install the required packages, run the following command:

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

In addition, the hash function needs to be compiled by following the directions in `/kwisehash/README.md`.

### Download the data and queries

The experiments use the IMDB and STATS databases with queries provided by the [End-to-End CardEst Benchmark](https://github.com/Nathaniel-Han/End-to-End-CardEst-Benchmark). To run the experiments, first download the required data using the following commands:

```bash
curl -L -o End-to-End-CardEst-Benchmark.zip https://github.com/Nathaniel-Han/End-to-End-CardEst-Benchmark/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip End-to-End-CardEst-Benchmark.zip
rm End-to-End-CardEst-Benchmark.zip

curl -L -o imdb.tgz http://homepages.cwi.nl/~boncz/job/imdb.tgz
mkdir imdb
tar zxvf imdb.tgz -C imdb
rm imdb.tgz
```
This should result in the following file structure:
```
End-to-End-CardEst-Benchmark-master/
imdb/
experiment.py
...
```

## Experiments

Information about the accepted arguments for the experiments can be obtained using the following command:

```bash
python experiment.py --help
```

For example, the following command runs our proposed method with `m=1000000` and takes the median of `l=5` i.i.d. estimates:

```bash
python experiment.py --method count-conv --query stats-7 --bins 1000000 --medians 5
```

### Available queries

The [End-to-End CardEst Benchmark](https://github.com/Nathaniel-Han/End-to-End-CardEst-Benchmark) provides queries with sub-queries for the STATS and IMDB databases. The following are the available options: `stats-[1-146]`, `stats_sub-[1-2603]`, `job_light-[1-70]`, and `job_light_sub-[1-696]`, where the brackets are inclusive ranges.

### Speed-up data loading

Loading the data from csv files for each experiment can incur significant overhead. To alleviate this, one can cache the loaded tables as pickle files using `python cache_tables.py`. After this finishes, the data loading time during the experiments should be reduced by roughly a factor of 10.

## Extended results

The absolute relative error plots, in addition to the timing plots of each stage (initialization, sketching, and inference) for all 216 queries are provided in [`/figures`](figures).

## Cardinality estimates

The cardinality estimates for all the sub-queries of both the STATS and IMDB databases are provided in [`/estimates`](estimates), which follows the same format as the estimates provided by the [End-to-End CardEst Benchmark](https://github.com/Nathaniel-Han/End-to-End-CardEst-Benchmark).
