In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a query from a client and determining a query plan for the query. The query plan comprises one or more query operators for executing at least a portion of the query on a database. The method also includes sending the one or more query operators to one or more computing nodes for the one or more computing nodes to execute the one or more query operators on one or more data fragments of the database. In this example, each computing node of the one or more computing nodes hosts a respective data fragment of the one or more data fragments. Further, the method includes detecting an error in executing a first query operator by a first computing node on a first data fragment, and sending, in response to detecting the error, the first query operator to a replacement computing node for executing on the first data fragment hosted by the spare computing node.
