Goals and Benchmarks for Autonomic Configuration Recommenders

Summary: Flexible performance-goal characterization and benchmarking for autonomic configuration recommenders (indexes, materialized views, partitions) in DBMS. Exploratory workloads with real and synthetic data; single-column index baseline; results show unfulfilled potential for several orders of magnitude improvements over current tools.
