Towards Query Optimizer as a Service (QOaaS) in a Unified LakeHouse Ecosystem: Can One QO Rule Them All?
Summary: Advocates Query Optimizer as a Service (QOaaS) in unified LakeHouse stacks to centralize workload-level optimization and enable multi-engine federation instead of per-engine or library-shared QOs. Shares experience extending Calcite/Cascades across SQL Server, Fabric DW, SCOPE and Spark prototypes, reporting early wins and substantial engineering and semantic challenges.
