Tsunami: A Learned Multi-dimensional Index for Correlated Data and Skewed Workloads

Summary: Tsunami, a learned multi-dimensional index for correlated data and skewed workloads, addresses tuning gaps in prior learned MDIs. It delivers up to 6x faster queries and 8x smaller index than prior learned MDI, and up to 11x faster and 170x smaller than optimally-tuned traditional indexes.
