Online Template Induction for Machine-Generated Emails

Summary: Crusher enables online template induction for machine-generated emails. Real-time discovery reduces template delay from weeks to minutes and achieves order-of-magnitude throughput gains over batch systems, while exposing limitations of conventional stream engines for online template induction.
