Parallel Analytics as a Service

Summary: Thrifty prototypes MPPDB-as-a-Service, consolidating thousands of tenants on shared hardware while preserving per-tenant SLAs. Tenant-driven design with clustered MPPDBs, replicated placement for HA, and routing to the right MPPDB delivers 99.9% SLA on 200GB–3.2TB workloads using ~19% of requested nodes.
