A Domain-Specific Language for Extending PQL/Java
(joint work with Hilmar Ackermann, Christian Müller, and Yannis
Smaragdakis)

Abstract: PQL/Java is a compact but powerful declarative language
extension for Java that automatically optimises and parallelises
queries over Java containers. To support additional forms of queries
(e.g., over SQL databases, incorporating Java 8 streams, or involving
new custom operators), we have added a backend extension mechanism
based on an extension specification language. This language serves
both to express the semantics of new custom operators and to express
relevant non-functional properties that we use during optimisation.
To validate the extension specification language's efficacy, we have
re-implemented the PQL/Java backend in it and added a number of new
query operators, including support for database queries. In addition
to reducing the burden towards extending our language, our new backend
now enables dynamic compilation.
