Beyond Simple Aggregates: Indexing for Summary Queries

Summary: Indexes that return compact statistical summaries (frequent items, quantiles, sketches, wavelets) for query ranges—bridging aggregates and reporting by delivering distributions instead of raw tuples. Linear-space structures with optimal or near-optimal query cost. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
