Extensible and Robust Evaluation of Similarity Queries

Summary: Fast, a similarity-join system, introduces "reductions" that map complex domains/distance functions into simpler ones and builds a reduction graph to enumerate extensible query plans. Using runtime partitioning and sampling-based plan selection (no cost models), plus hybrid index-on-the-fly and caching, Fast robustly attains near-optimal performance across datasets and distance functions.
