Skew-Aware Automatic Database Partitioning in Shared-Nothing, Parallel OLTP Systems

Summary: Skew-aware automatic partitioning for shared-nothing OLTP; addresses data and access skew, stored-procedure routing, and replicated secondary indexes. Analytical cost model plus large-neighborhood search minimize distributed transactions and scale with schema and data, yielding up to 16x throughput. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
