Constructing Join Histograms from Histograms with q-error Guarantees
Summary: Constructs a join histogram from two single-column histograms on different attributes with q-error guarantees, without accessing base data. Linear-time construction; output size ≤ sum of input sizes; enables accurate join cardinality estimation, with rare theoretical adversarial failures. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
