Exploiting Soft and Hard Correlations in Big Data Query Optimization
Summary: EXORD exploits guaranteed and uncertain attribute correlations in big-data optimization, validating soft rules and isolating violating records. A workload-aware cost-benefit heuristic selects useful correlations for Hive/Hadoop, integrating with indexing and partitioning for over 10× speedups. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
