Adaptively Parallelizing Distributed Range Queries
Summary: Adaptive parallelism for distributed range queries tunes per-query parallelism and assignment to minimize disk contention. Query selectivity, client load, and bandwidth guide per-query optimum, with tunable policies (short/long, high/low) in PNUTS. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
