WANalytics: Geo-Distributed Analytics for a Data Intensive World
Summary: WANalytics coordinates geo-distributed query execution and adaptive replication to minimize cross-DC bandwidth under sovereignty and fault-tolerance constraints. Cost-aware pseudo-distributed planning plus aggressive intermediate caching reduce transfers; SQL-focused and DAG execution paths enable live geo-scale deployments with up to 360x transfer reduction on real and synthetic workloads.
