Amoeba: A Shape changing Storage System for Big Data
Summary: Amoeba provides robust multi-attribute partitioning for ad-hoc queries without a known workload. It continually repartitions from observed queries, balancing adaptivity to evolving workloads against robustness and avoiding performance spikes. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
