Query Optimization in Microsoft SQL Server PDW

Summary: Introduces the PDW QO, a cost-based distributed optimizer for MPP SQL Server PDW. Leverages existing QO tech via metadata abstraction to explore a rich space of distributed plans with a dedicated cost model, instead of naive parallelization of a serial plan.
