A semi-join is a relational database operation that retrieves rows from one table where there is a matching row in another table, but only returns columns from the first table. It is used to optimize queries by reducing the amount of data that needs to be processed and transferred, especially in distributed databases.

Data processing involves the collection, transformation, and organization of data to extract meaningful insights and facilitate decision-making. It encompasses a range of activities, from data cleaning and integration to analysis and visualization, ensuring data is accurate, accessible, and actionable.

Data Processing

Data transfer refers to the process of moving data from one location to another, which can occur within a single device or across networks. It is crucial for enabling communication between systems and ensuring the accessibility and integrity of data across different platforms.

Data Transfer

Distributed databases store data across multiple physical locations to improve data availability, reliability, and performance. They enable concurrent data access and processing, but require complex mechanisms for data consistency, replication, and coordination among distributed nodes.
