Description A lot of multimedia data are being created nowadays, which can only be searched by content since no searching metadata are available for them. To make the content search efficient, similarity indexing structures based on the metric-space model can be used. In our work, we focus on a scenario where the similarity search is used in the context of stream processing. In particular, there is a potentially infinite sequence (stream) of query objects, and a query needs to be executed for each of them. The goal is to maximize the throughput of processed queries while maintaining an acceptable delay. We propose an approach based on dynamic reordering of the incoming queries combined with caching of recent results. We were able to achieve up to 3.7 times higher throughput compared to the base case when no reordering and caching is used.
