Abstract
A split-index can be employed for access to external data. The index can be created on a primary data storage system for data stored externally on a secondary data storage system. After creation, the index can be utilized to expedite at least query execution over the externally stored data. The index can be updated upon detection of changes to data. Further, even when the index is not completely up to date, the index can be exploited for query execution. Furthermore, hybrid execution is enabled with the index and without the index.
