Eraser: Eliminating Performance Regression on Learned Query Optimizer
Summary: Eraser removes performance regressions in learned query optimizers by estimating per-plan prediction reliability with a two-stage approach: a coarse filter for unseen features and cluster-based fine-grained reliability scoring. Pluggable across systems (Postgres, Spark), it preserves learned-optimizer gains while largely eliminating regressions and adapting to dynamic workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
