Estimating Quantiles from the Union of Historical and Streaming Data

Summary: Quantile estimation over the union of historical and streaming data via a hybrid approach: a historical index plus a memory-efficient streaming sketch. Improves accuracy–resource tradeoffs relative to disk-only or streaming-only solutions for real-time analytics. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
