Locality-aware Partitioning in Parallel Database Systems

Summary: Predicate-based reference partitioning (PREF) co-partitions tables by join predicates to cut traffic beyond replication. Automatic design algorithms maximize data locality from schema/data and workload, outperforming prior partitioning on diverse schemata. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
