Minimal MapReduce Algorithms

Summary: Introduces the 'minimal algorithm' notion for MapReduce, optimizing load balancing, space, CPU, I/O, and network cost within a small constant factor. Shows existence of elegant minimal algorithms for fundamental database problems, validated by extensive experiments. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
