Fast Optimal Twig Joins
Summary: Introduces new data structures and filtering strategies for twig joins, achieving worst-case optimality with practical speedups. Experimental results show ~3× speedups on standard benchmarks, up to an order of magnitude for unselective leaves, and never more than 20% slower elsewhere. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
