The Researcher's Guide to the Data Deluge: Querying a Scientific Database in Just a Few Seconds

Summary: Advocates intent-driven, approximate query answering for interactive exploration of scientific databases facing petabyte-scale ingestion. Envisions a speed-first kernel that may refuse expensive queries, suggest reformulations, and offer alternative exploratory paths. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
