Summary
Deadline: 11:00am on Monday 19 April
Late Penalty: 0.125 marks off the ceiling mark for each hour late (i.e. 3 marks/day)
Marks: contributes 20 marks toward your total mark for this course.
Groups: you must complete this assignment individually
Submission:
login to Course Web Site > Assignments > Assignment 2 > Submission > upload ass2.tar
or login to any CSE server > give cs9315 ass2 ass2.tar
Workspace: any machine wth a C compiler (preferably gcc); you do not need to use Grieg
The ass2.tar file must contain the Makefile plus all of the *.c and *.h files that are needed to compile the create, insert and
select executables.
You are not allowed to change the following files: create.c, insert.c, select.c, stats.c, dump.c, hash.h, hash.c, x1.c,
x2.c, x3.c. We supply them when we/you test your files, so any changes you make will be overwritten. Do not include them in the
ass2.tar file. Details on how to build the ass2.tar file are given below.
Note that the code in create.c, insert.c, select.c, stats.c, dump.c assumes that you honour the interfaces to the ADTs
defined in the *.[ch] file pairs. If you change the interfaces to data types like bits.h and page.h, then your program will be treated
as incorrect.
Make sure that you read this assignment specification carefully and completely before starting work on the assignment.
Questions which indicate that you haven't done this will simply get the response "Please read the spec".
Note: this assignment does not require you to do anything with PostgreSQL.
Introduction
Signatures are a style of indexing where (in its simplest form) each tuple is associated with a compact representation of its values (i.e.
its signature). Signatures are used in the context of partial-match retrieval queries, and are particularly effective for large tuples.
Selection is performed by first forming a query signature, based on the values of the known attributes, and then scanning the stored
signatures, matching them against the query signature, to identify potentially matching tuples. Only these tuples are read from the
data pages and compared against the query to check whether they are true matching tuples. Signature matching can result in "false
matches", where the query and tuple signatures match, but the tuple is not a valid result for the query. Note that signature matching
can be quite efficient if the signatures are small, and efficient bit-wise operations are used to check for signature matches.
The kind of signature matching described above uses one signature for each tuple (as in the diagram below). Other kinds of
signatures exist, and one goal is to implement them and compare their performance to that of tuple signatures.

In files such as the above, queries are evaluated as follows:
Input: pmr query, Output: set of tuples satisfying the query
qrySig = makeSignature(query)
Pages = {} // set of pages containing possibly matching tuples
foreach tupSig in SignatureFile {
if (tupSig matches qrySig) {
// potential match
PID = page of tuple associated with tupSig
add PID to Pages
}
}
Results = {} // set of tuples satisfying query
foreach PID in Pages {
buf = fetch data page PID
foreach tuple in buf {
// check for real match
if (tuple satisfies query) add tuple to Results
}
}
Note that above algorithm is an abstract view of what you must implement in your code. The function makeSignature() does not
literally exist, but you need to build analogues to it in your code.
Signatures
We will consider two methods for building signatures: superimposed codewords (SIMC), and concatenated codewords (CATC). Each
codeword is formed using the value from one attribute.
In SIMC signatures, all codewords and signatures are m bits wide, and each codeword has k bits set to 1. In CATC signatures,
signatures are m bits wide, but codewords occupy approximately equal numbers of bits of the signature. Since there are m bits in the
signature and n attributes, each codeword is u = m/n bits long, except for the lower-order codeword (the one for the first attribute).
This codeword is u bits long + m mod n bits, so that the total number of codeword bits is equal to m. The following diagram shows the
parts of a concenated codeword signature:
In this example, the signature is m=42 bits wide. Each codeword, except the lower-order one, is u=10 bits wide. The lower-order
codeword has two extra bits to make up to 42. Each codeword has half of its bits set to 1; in CATC codewords, k = u/2. This is different
to SIMC codewords, where we need to determine k to ensure that roughly half of the bits in the signature are set to 1.
2021/4/4 COMP9315 21T1 - Assignment 2
https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs9315/21T1/assignments/ass2/index.php 3/13
The way we build CATC signatures is conceptually straightforward: form n codewords, each of which is m/n bits wide, and
concatenate them. In practice, we build n codewords, each of which is m bits wide, with the lower-order u bits set as the codeword,
and then, shifted into the position that it would occupy in a concatenated codeword signature. The diagram below illustrates this:
Note: the fact individual codewords are 8-bits long is not intended to suggest that codewords will always be whole bytes. Individual
codewords would be 6-bits if m = 24, or 9-bits if m = 36. And, as noted above, if m = 42, the codeword for attribute 1 would be 12-bits
and all other attributes would have 10-bit codewords.
In subsequent discussions, we denote the length of tuple signatures as m, the length of page signatures as mp
, and the length of
CATC codewords as u (remembering that all SIMC codewords have the same length as the signatures they produce).
Relations
In our system, a relation R is represented by five physical files:
R.info containing global information such as
the number of attributes and size of each tuple
the number of data pages and number of tuples
the base type of signatures (simc or catc)
the sizes of the various kinds of signatures
the number of signatures and signature pages
etc. etc. etc.
The R.info file contains a copy of the RelnParams structure given in the reln.h file (see below).
R.data containing data pages, where each data page contains
a count of the number of tuples in the page
the tuples (as comma-separated character sequences)
Each data page has a capacity of c tuples. If there are n tuples then there will be b = ⌈n/c⌉ pages in the data file. All pages
except the last are full. Tuples are never deleted.
R.tsig containing tuple signatures, where each page contains
a count of the number of signatures in the page
the signatures themselves (as bit strings)
Each tuple signature is formed by incorporating the codewords from each attribute in the tuple. How this is done differs between
SIMC and CATC, but the overall result is a single m-bit long signature. If there are n tuples in the relation, there will be n tuple
signatures, in bt pages. All tuple signature pages except the last are full.
R.psig containing page signatures, where each page contains
a count of the number of signatures in the page
the signatures themselves (as bit strings)
Page signatures are much larger than tuple signatures, and are formed by incorporating the codewords of all attribute values in
all tuples in the page. How this is done differs between SIMC and CATC, but the result is a single mp
-bit long signature There is
one page signature for each page in the data file.
R.bsig containing bit-sliced signatures, where each page contains
a count of the number of signatures in the page
the bit-slices themselves (as bit strings)
Bit-slices give an alternate 90
o
-rotated view of page signatures. If there are b data pages, then each bit-slice is b-bits long. If
page signatures are pm bits long, then there are pm bit-slices.
The following diagram gives a very simple example of the correspondence between page signatures and bit-slices:

https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs9315/21T1/assignments/ass2/index.php 4/13
Pages
The different types of pages (tuple, signature, slice) were described above. Internally, all pages have a similar structure: a counter
holding the number of items in the page, and the items themselves (tuples or signatures or slices). All of the items in a page are the
same size. The following diagram shows the structure of pages in the files of a signature-indexed relation:
We have developed some infrastructure for you to use in implementing these signatur-indexed files. The code we give you is not
complete; you can find the bits that need to be completed by searching for TODO in the code.
How you implement the missing parts of the code is up to you, but your implementation must conform to the conventions used in our
code. In particular, you should preserve the interfaces to the supplied modules (e.g. Bits, Reln, Query, Tuple) and ensure that your
submitted modules work with the supplied code in the create, insert and select commands.
Commands
In our context, signature-indexed relations are a collection of files that represent one relational table. These relations can be
manipulated by a number of supplied commands:
create RelName SigType #tuples #attrs 1/pF
Creates an empty relation called RelName with all tuples having #attrs attributes. SigType specifies how signatures should be
formed, and can have one of two values: simc or catc. The #tuples parameter gives the expected number of tuples that are
likely to be inserted into a relation; this, in turn, determines parameters like the number of data pages and length of bit-sliced
superimposed codewords. The 1/pF parameter gives the inverse of the false match probability; for example, a value of 1000
corresponds to a false match probability of 1/1000 (0.001).
These parameters are combined using the formulas given in lectures to determine how large tuple- and page-signatures are.
Each bit-slice has a number of bits equal to the number of data pages, which is determined from #attrs, #tuples and the page
size.
This gives you storage for one relation/table, and is analogous to making an SQL data definition like:
create table R ( a1 integer, a2 text, ... an text );
Note that internally, attributes are indexed 0..n-1 rather than 1..n.
2021/4/4 COMP9315 21T1 - Assignment 2
https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs9315/21T1/assignments/ass2/index.php 5/13
The following example of using create makes a relation called abc where each tuple has 4 attributes and the indexing has a
false match probability of 1/100. The relation can hold up to 10000 tuples (it can actually hold more, but only the first 10000 will
be indexed via the bit-sliced signatures).
$ ./create abc simc 10000 4 100
insert RelName
Reads tuples, one per line, from standard input and inserts them into the relation specified on the command line. Tuples all take
the form val1
,val2
,...,valn
. The values can be any sequence of alpha-numeric characters and '-'. The characters ',' (field
separator) and '?' (query wildcard) are treated specially.
Since all tuples need to be the same length, it is simplest to use gendata to generate them, and pipe the generated tuples into
the insert command
select RelName QueryString IndexType
Takes a "query tuple" on the command line, and finds all tuples in the data pages of the relation RelName that match the query.
IndexType has a value of either t, p or p, indicating whether it should used the tuple, page, or bit-sliced signatures. Queries
take the form val1
,val2
,...,valn
, where some of the val
i can be '?' (without the quotes). Some examples, and their interpretation
are given below. You can find more examples in the lecture slides and course notes.
?,?,? # matches any tuple in the relation
10,?,? # matches any tuple with 10 as the value of attribute 1
?,abc,? # matches any tuple with abc as the value of attribute 2
10,abc,? # matches any tuple with 10 and abc as the values of attributes 1 and 2
There are also a number of auxiliary commands to assist with building and examining relations:
gendata #tuples #attributes [startID] [seed]
Generates a specified number of n-attribute tuples in the appropriate format to insert into a created relation. All tuples are the
same format and look like
UniqID,RandomString,a3-Num,a4-Num,...,an-Num
For example, the following 4-attribute tuples could be generated by a call like gendata 1000 4
7654321,aTwentyCharLongStrng,a3-013,a4-001
3456789,aTwentyChrLongString,a3-042,a4-128
Of course, the above call to gendata will generate 1000 tuples like these.
A tuple is represented by a sequence of comma-separated fields. The first field is a unique 7-digit number; the second field is a
random 20-char string (most likely unique in a given database); the remaining fields have a field identifier followed by a nonunique
3-digit number. The size of each tuple is
7+1 + 20+1 + (n-2)*(6+1)-1 = 28 + 7*(n-2) bytes
The -1 is because the last attribute doesn't have a trailing comma, and (n-2)*(6+1) assumes that it does.
Note that tuples are limited to at most 9 attributes, which means that the maximum tuple size is a modest 77 bytes. (If you wish,
you can work with larger tuples by tweaking the gendata and create commands and the newRelation() function, but this
not required for the assignment).
stats RelName
Prints information about the sizes of various aspects of the relation. Note that some aspects are static (e.g. the size of tuples)
and some aspects are dynamic (e.g. the number of tuples). An example of using the stats command is given below.
You can use it to help with debugging, by making sure that the files have been correctly built after the create command, and
that the files have been correctly updated after some tuples have been inserted.
dump RelName
Writes all tuples from the relation RelName, one per line, to standard output. This is like an inverse of the insert command.
Tuples are dumped in a form that could be used by insert to rebuild a database.
You can use it to help with debugging, by making sure that the tuples are inserted correctly into the data file.
Setting Up
You should make a working directory for this assignment and put the supplied code there, and start reading to make sure that you
understand all of the data types and operations used in the system.

$ mkdir your/ass2/directory
$ cd your/ass2/directory
$ unzip /web/cs9315/21T1/assignments/ass2/ass2.zip
You should see the following files in the directory:
$ ls
Makefile dump.c psig.c stats.c x1.c
bits.c gendata.c psig.h tsig.c x2.c
bits.h hash.c query.c tsig.h x3.c
bsig.c hash.h query.h tuple.c
bsig.h insert.c reln.c tuple.h
create.c page.c reln.h util.c
defs.h page.h select.c util.h
The .h files define data types and function interfaces for the various types used in the system. The corresponding .c files contain the
implementation of the functions on the data type. The remaining .c files either provide the commands described above, or are test
harnesses for individual types (x1.c, x2.c, x3.c). You can add additional testing files, bu there is no need to submit them.
The above files give you a partial implementation of signature-based indexing. You need to complete the code so that it provides the
functionality described above.
You should be able to build the supplied partial implementation via the following:

This should not produce any errors on the CSE servers; let me know ASAP if this is not the case.
The gendata command should work completely without change. For example, the following command generates 5 tuples, each of
which has 4 attributes. Values in the first attribute are unique; values in the second attribute are highly likely to be unique. Note that
the third and fourth attributes cycle through values at different rates, so they won't always have the same number.
$ ./gendata 5 4
1000000,lrfkQyuQFjKXyQVNRTyS,a3-000,a4-000 -> 0
1000001,FrzrmzlYGFvEulQfpDBH,a3-001,a4-001 -> 0

1000004,lADzPBfudkKlrwqAOzMi,a3-004,a4-004 -> 0
The create command itself is complete, but some of the functions it calls are not complete. It will allow you to make an empty
relation, although without a complete bit-slice file (you add this as one of the assignment tasks). The stats command is complete and
can display information about a relation. Using these commands, you could do the following: use the create command to create an
empty relation which can hold 4-attribute tuples and able to index up to 5000 tuples (using bit-slices), with a false match probability of
1/1000. The stats command then displays the generated parameter values.
$ ./create R simc 5000 4 1000
$ ./stats R

You can apply the formulae for calculating the various quantities to check that the above values make sense. Note that the bits for
signatures are rounded up to the next multiple of 8 (why waste a few bits?). Note also that all pages are defined to be 4096 bytes.
Finally, note that create makes a file with one empty page for each of the files holding tuples and signatures.
As supplied, the insert command inserts tuples into the data pages, but does not generate any signatures. Using gendata is the
easiest (and safest) way to add valid tuples. You can then check that the tuples have been inserted via the dump command, and see
how the parameters have changed using stats again.

$
Note that the only difference between the above stats and the stats for the newly-created file is the 5 tuples. There are no signatures,
no new pages, etc.
The dump command is complete; it simply scans the data file and displays any tuples it finds, e.g.
$ ./dump R
1000000,lrfkQyuQFjKXyQVNRTyS,a3-000,a4-000

The select command, as supplied, is not complete. However, once it is working (at least with tuple signatures), you should be able
to ask queries like:
$ ./select R '1000001,?,?' t # not enough attrs
Invalid query: 101,?,?

Some explanation:
The second query finds a match because there is a tuple with the value 1000001 for its first attribute. The ? represent "don't
care" or wild-card values.
The third query fails because the tuple with 1000001 for its first attribute, does not have the value a3-002 for its third attribute.
The fourth query performs a linear scan of the data file. Since the query itself is the same as the third query, there are no
matching tuples. This query reads every data page (there is only one). Any data page read, which does not contain matching
tuples, is counted as a "false page match".
The t at the end of the query tells the query evaluator to use tuple signatures as a first-pass filter. Other possibilities are p for
page signatures or b for bit-sliced signatures. If you use a character other than t, p, or b, or don't specify a signature type, the
evaluator uses a linear scan and checks all tuples.
With all types of signatures, queries run in two phases:
use the signatures to determine which pages may contain matching tuples
read each of these pages and check all tuples to find real matches
The query statistics are maintained in a Query data structure while the query is executing.
Data Types
There are four important data types defined in the system:
Relations (data type Reln)
Relations are defined by three data types: Reln, RelnRep, RelnParams. Reln is just a pointer to a RelnRep object; this is
useful for passing to functions that need to modify some aspect of the relation structure. RelnRep is a representation of an
open relation and contains the parameters, plus file descriptors for all of the open files. RelnParams is a list of various
properties of the database. See reln.h for details.
Queries (data type Query)
Queries are defined via a QueryRep structure which contains fields to represent the current state of the scan for the query, plus
a collection of statistics counters. It is essentially like the query iteration structures described in lectures, and is used to control
and monitor the query evaluation. The QueryRep structure also contains a reference to the relation being queried, and a copy
of the query string. The Query data type is simply a pointer to a QueryRep structure. See query.h for details. The following
diagram might also help:
Pages (data type Page)
Pages are defined via a PageRep structure which contains a counter for the number of items, and then an array of bytes
containing the actual items, whether they are tuples or signatures or slices. The size of each type of item is held in the
RelnParams structure, and so Pages are typically considered in conjunction with Relns. The Page data type is simply a
pointer to a PageRep structure. See page.h for details. The following diagram might also help:
Bit-strings (data type Bits)
Bit-strings are defined via a BitsRep structure which contains two counters (one for the number of bits, and the other for the
number of bytes used to represent the bit-string). The BitsRep structure also contains an array of bytes which hold the bits in
the string; the array is created when and instance of a Bits data type is created. Note that Bits is an ADT, so the concrete
data structure is hidden from its clients; the Bits data type is simply a pointer to a BitsRep structure. See bits.c for details
of the data structure, and bits.h for the function interface. The following diagram might help:

https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs9315/21T1/assignments/ass2/index.php 9/13
Tuple (data type Tuple)
Tuples are just character sequences (like C strings). See tuple.h for details.
There are also a range of (hopefully) self-explanatory data types defined in defs.h. The various signature types are represented as
bit-strings (Bits).
Goal
Your goal for this assignment is to complete the implementation of the various components of the system, so that it can handle all
three kinds of signatures. This includes adding/modifying signatures when new tuples are added, and using these signatures in
answering queries. Note that ew don't consider operations like DELETE or UPDATE in this assignment.
The header (.h) files contain definitions of the data types used in the system.
Each of the source code (.c)files contains comments on each function, describing briefly what it should do. Some functions contain
TODO comments to indicate where you need to complete them. You can put all of the code in the indicated function, or you can write
new functions that these functions use.
You are free to change any file except create.c, insert.c, select.c and hash.c. Since you can't change these files, you also
cannot change the interfaces to the data types that they use (Reln, Query, Page, Bits). Basically, all of the functions mentioned in
the .h files for these types must exist, with the same interface, but you can implement their internals however you like. You can also
add extra functions to each data type (i.e. extend its interface) if that helps.
The files x1.c, x2.c, x3.c can be changed, but aren't relevant to the assignment, except to help with debugging some of the data
types.
Task 1: A Bit-string Type (3 marks)
Implement all of the incomplete functions in the bits.c file, to produce a working bit-string data type. The functions to complete are
flagged with TODO, and the purpose of each should be clear from the comment at the start of the function and its name. The x1.c file
contains some simple test cases for the Bits type.
Task 2: Scanning for Results (4 marks)
After you have Bits working, you can start to implement query evaluation, although without indexing. The startQuery() function
parses the query string and then uses the appropriate type of signature to generate a list of pages which potentially contain matching
tuples. This list is implemented as a bit-string where a 1 indicates a page which needs to be checked for matches. At this stage, all of
the signature types mark all pages as potential matches, so all pages need to be checked.
Note that the startQuery() function can return NULL. It should do so only if the query string contains the wrong number of attributes
for the relation.
Before this will work, you need to implement the scanAndDisplayMatchingTuples() function, which performs the check for
matching tuples in each of the marked pages. This function, as well as finding and displaying result tuples, maintains the query
statistics for number of data pages read, and number of pages that were read but contained no matching tuples.
For this task, you need to complete the scanAndDisplayMatchingTuples() function from the query.c file. This function
behaves roughly as follows:
foreach PID in 0 .. npages-1 {
if (PID is not set in MatchingPages)
ignore this page
for each tuple T in page PID {
if (T matches the query string)
display it as a query result
}
if (no tuples in page PID are results)
count it as a false match page
}
Task 3: Tuple Signatures (6 marks)
Implement indexing by using tuple-based signatures (i.e. each tuple has its own signature, stored in the Rel.tsig file). Signatures
could be either SIMC or CATC, as determined from the meta-data in the *.info file. You will need to complete the
makeTupleSig() and findPagesUsingTupSigs() functions in the tsig.c file, and add some code to the addToRelation()
function in reln.c.

The addToRelation() function inserts a tuple into the next available slot in the data file, but currently does nothing with signatures.
You should add code here which generates a tuple signature for the new tuple and inserts it in the next available slot in the Rel.tsig
file.
The makeTupleSig() function takes a tuple and returns a bit-string which contains a tuple signature for that tuple. It behaves
roughly as follows:
Tsig = AllZeroBits
for each attribute A in tuple T {
CW = codeword for A
Tsig = Tsig OR CW
}
The difference between SIMC and CATC signatures occurs in how the codewords are computed. You will need to determine the best
point in the code to check the signature type and then how to determine the codewords appropriately.
A method for computing codewords (in 32-bit bit-strings) is given in the lecture notes below:
Bits codeword(char *attr_value, int m, int k)
{
int nbits = 0; // count of set bits
bits cword = 0; // assuming m <= 32 bits
srandom(hash(attr_value));
while (nbits < k) {
int i = random() % m;
if (((1 << i) & cword) == 0) {
cword |= (1 << i);
nbits++;
}
}
return cword; // m-bits with k 1-bits and m-k 0-bits
}
The findPagesUsingTupSigs() take a tuple signature a
