Dynamic Sample Selection for Approximate Query Processing

Summary: Dynamic per-query biased sampling for approximate query processing using a pre-built library of non-uniform samples. Runtime selects the most informative sub-sample via an index, delivering tighter aggregations than static sampling with improved accuracy and responsiveness.
