Memory Efficient Scheduling of Query Pipeline Execution

Summary: Exploit ordering of pipeline executions between pipeline breakers to minimize peak memory usage, formalizing the scheduling problem and search space. Present a formal model and four optimal/heuristic algorithms, with a prototype and Join Order Benchmark results showing notable memory savings and low planning overhead.
