Kishu: Time-Traveling for Computational Notebooks

Summary: Kishu provides time-travel for computational notebooks via fault-tolerant, incremental checkpoints at a novel co-variable granularity that preserves complex inter-variable dependencies across many data-science object classes. It computes state diffs to perform incremental checkouts with sub-second latency and minimal loading, cutting checkpoint size and restore time up to 4.55x and 9.02x.
