A data store system includes an array of persistent storage devices configured to store a plurality of data store tables. The data store system includes a processor in communication with the storage device. The processor may receive a query comprising an aggregate function and identify structure of an argument of the aggregate function. The subset of data store tables may be associated with the argument. The processor may partially-execute the aggregate function on each data store table in the subset involved in the argument of the aggregate function to create partially-executed results for each data store table of the subset of data store tables. The processor may join the partially-executed results based on join conditions contained in the aggregate function. The processor may complete execution of the aggregate function on the partially-executed results to generate a final result of the aggregate function. A method and computer-readable medium are also disclosed.
