Finding Attribute-aware Similar Regions for Data Analysis

Summary: Introduces ASRS for geo-tag data, using composite aggregators to capture region traits. DS-Search partitions regions with a drop condition to prune irrelevant splits; locates a similar same-size region, adds an approximate ASRS, and reports results.
