We present Rhyme, an expressive and declarative query language designed for querying nested structures such as JSON, tensors, etc. Rhyme is multi-paradigm such that computations ranging from aggregations, group-bys and joins and other diverse computations such as tensor calculations can all be expressed in a unified language. Rhyme’s syntax closely resembles object notation, where query structure directly corresponds to result structure. We demonstrate Rhyme’s expressiveness across relational-style data processing, tensor computations via einsum-like notation, and shape-polymorphic operations over arbitrary tree structures using deep path variables.
