PolyFrame: A Retargetable Query-based Approach to Scaling Dataframes
Summary: Retargets AFrame from AsterixDB to a backend-agnostic, query-based layer for scalable DataFrame analytics. Introduces PolyFrame, preserving Pandas API while incrementally shaping queries for diverse composable languages across DBMS backends. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
