ABSTRACT
One of the main advantages of the cloud computing paradigm is that it simplies the time-consuming processes of hardware provisioning, hardware procurement and software deployment. Currently, we are witnessing a proliferation in the number of cloud-hosted applications with a tremendous increase in the scale of the data generated as well as being consumed by such applications. Cloud-hosted database systems
