Weighted Reservoir Sampling from Distributed Streams
Summary: First message-optimal algorithm for weighted sampling without replacement (weighted SWOR) from distributed streams, achieving optimal message, space, and time complexity and a nearly-tight message lower bound (up to log(1/ε)). Uses this primitive to give the first distributed algorithms for residual heavy hitters in skewed-weight streams and to tighten/improve message complexity bounds for distributed L1 (count) tracking, yielding matching lower bounds.
