Data Discovery in Data Lakes: Operations, Indexes, Systems

Summary: Tutorial-style synthesis of data discovery in data lakes: catalogs operations, index designs and system architectures, with emphasis on indexing structures and scalable algorithms for join and union discovery. Identifies tradeoffs and open challenges for holistic systems, evaluation methodologies, and federated discovery. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
