AdaptDB: Adaptive Partitioning for Distributed Joins
Summary: AdaptDB adaptively refines distributed table partitioning as workloads evolve. Its hyper-join matches overlapping storage blocks to avoid broad shuffles, while smooth repartitioning reduces overlap incrementally, yielding 2–3× faster TPC-H and real-world queries.
