Cheap Data Analytics using Cold Storage Devices

Summary: Proposes Cold Storage Devices (CSD) as a cost-effective analytics tier, replacing HDD capacity and archival storage with tens-of-seconds latency and ultra-low $/GB/mo. Skipper co-designs the DB execution engine and CSD scheduler to hide CSD latency, enabling practical cheap analytics on cold data (PostgreSQL + OpenStack Swift).
