AQWA: Adaptive Query-Workload-Aware Partitioning of Big Spatial Data

Summary: AQWA: adaptive, workload-aware partitioning that incrementally updates partitions as data arrives and queries execute, with no distribution/workload. Twitter data with range/kNN workloads shows AQWA delivering up to 10x faster queries than static partitioning. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
