Knowing When You’re Wrong: Building Fast and Reliable Approximate Query Processing Systems

Summary: Sampling-based AQP for large-scale analytics; error bars often fail on real workloads. Fast diagnostics of error-estimation failures and a pipeline that yields approximate answers with reliable bootstrap-based error bars at interactive speeds. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
