Titian: Data Provenance Support in Spark

Summary: Titian integrates data provenance into Apache Spark to trace data through transformations, enabling root-cause debugging in DISC workloads. Provenance at interactive speeds with modest overhead; typically under 30% of baseline, far faster than prior tools. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
