As currently implemented in production systems, sideways information passing enables only a uni-directional information flow, as opposed to instance-optimal algorithms, such as Yannakakis'. On the other hand, the latter require an additional pass over the input, which hinders adoption in production systems. In this paper, we make a step towards enabling single-pass bi-directional information passing during query execution. We achieve this by statically analyzing between which tables the information flow is blocked and by leveraging precomputed join-induced fingerprint columns on FK-tables. On the JOB benchmark, Parachute improves DuckDB v1.2's end-to-end execution time without and with semi-join filtering by 1.54x and 1.24x, respectively, when allowed to use 15% extra space.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.13670v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.13670v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"parachute-single-pass-bi-directional","repo_url":"https://github.com/utndatasystems/parachute","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
