DREAM: Distributed RDF Engine with Adaptive Query Planner and Minimal Communication
Summary: DREAM partitions SPARQL queries, not RDF data, avoiding intermediate shuffles and enabling pattern matching. An adaptive, graph-based, rule-oriented planner and a new cost model distribute work across clusters and outperform popular RDF systems. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
