Modeling High-Dimensional Index Structures using Sampling

Summary: Proposes a sampling-based cost model to predict index-page accesses for high-dimensional structures—dimensionality-agnostic and able to preserve data clusters. Provides a general page-layout estimator with error compensation and a memory-efficient implementation that yields fast predictions, up to 100x faster than building/probing the full index.
