Efficient Mid-Query Re-Optimization of Sub-Optimal Query Execution Plans

Summary: Mid-query re-optimization detects sub-optimal plans during execution via targeted statistics collection. These stats guide resource tuning or plan changes for the remainder, with low overhead; demonstrated in Paradise with gains on complex queries. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
