Distributed Wavelet Thresholding for Maximum Error Metrics

Summary: Distributed wavelet thresholding for fixed-space synopses with maximum error guarantees. Presents a general framework to parallelize DP algorithms, a parallel DP-based solution, and a new parallel greedy method; achieves linear Hadoop scalability and 2–4× faster results than centralized DP while preserving quality.
