Database Technology for the Masses: Sub-Operators as First-Class Entities
Summary: Advocates exposing sub-operators as first-class entities, decoupled from legacy relational operators, to better handle hardware trends and growing workloads. Provides an initial catalog of sub-operators and outlines an external interface to compile, optimize, and run them, enabling broader data types and functionality.
