Data transition in highly parallel database management system

Abstract

A method by one or more processing units of a database management system includes transitioning storage of a collection of data from storage in a set of first temperature storage nodes of the database management system to storage in a set of second temperature storage nodes of the database management system based on one or more criteria associated with the collection of data, where each first temperature storage node of the set of first temperature storage nodes is paired with a corresponding second temperature storage node of the set of second temperature storage nodes to form a set of parallel node pairs. The method further includes, after determining the collection of data has been stored in the set of second temperature storage nodes, deleting the collection of data in the set of first temperature storage nodes.
