Alpine: Efficient In situ Data Exploration in the Presence of Updates

Summary: Alpine demonstrates adaptive in situ data exploration with updates via an online partitioning and indexing tuner for fast raw-data queries. Coupled to an in situ executor, the tuner builds and adapts structures over raw files as updates arrive. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
