C H A P T E R 2 1 Parallel Databases Solutions to Practice Exercises 21.1 If there are few tuples in the queried range, then each query can be processed quickly on a single disk. This allows parallel execution of queries with reduced overhead of initiating queries on multiple disks. On the other hand, if there are many tuples in the queried range, each query takes a long time to execute as there is no parallelism within its execution. Also, some of the disks can become hot-spots, further increasing response time.
