What Makes a Good Physical Plan? — Experiencing Hardware-Conscious Query Optimization with Candomble
Summary: Proposes Candomble, an interactive, touch-based environment for hardware-conscious query optimization. Humans act as live physical optimizers, rewriting GPU/CPU plans and extracting rules for a downstream rule-based planner. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
