Data analytics are moving beyond the limits of a single data processing platform. A cross-platform query optimizer is necessary to enable applications to run their tasks over multiple platforms efficiently and in a platform-agnostic manner. For the optimizer to be effective, it must consider data movement costs across different data processing platforms. In this paper,we present the graph-based data movement strategy used by RHEEM, our open-source cross-platform system. In particular, we(i) model the data movement problem as a new graph problem,which we prove to be NP-hard, and (ii) propose a novel graph exploration algorithm, which allows RHEEMto discover multiple hidden opportunities for cross-platform data processing
