To balance the requirements for data consistency and availability, organisations increasingly migrate towards hybrid data persistence architectures (called polystores throughout this paper) comprising both relational and NoSQL databases. The EC-funded H2020 TYPHON project offers facilities for designing and deploying such polystores, otherwise a complex, technically challenging and error-prone task. In addition, it is nowadays increasingly important for organisations to be able to extract business intelligence by monitoring data stored in polystores. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that facilitates the extraction of analytics in a distributed manner by monitoring polystore queries as these arrive for execution. Beyond the analytics architecture, we presented a pre-execution authorisation mechanism. We also report on preliminary scalability evaluation experiments which demonstrate the linear scalability of the proposed architecture.
