Robust Estimation of Resource Consumption for SQL Queries using Statistical Techniques

Summary: Operator-specific statistical models with per-operator features and explicit asymptotic behavior. Integrates DB query processing knowledge with statistical techniques to achieve robust, plan-agnostic resource estimates transferable to arbitrary plans; validated on real-life and benchmark workloads on Microsoft SQL Server.
