Database-friendly Random Projections

Summary: Replaces classic JL random hyperplane projection with a DB-friendly construction computing k simple aggregates over random attribute partitions. Preserves JL dimensionality guarantees (k = O(log n)) while enabling implementation via standard relational/aggregation operators. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
