Formal Approaches to Querying Big Data in Shared-Nothing Systems

Summary: Formal frameworks for querying big data in shared-nothing systems; reveals lack of theoretical grounding for distributed query evaluation. Proposes grounded frameworks for coordination, communication, skew, load-balancing, and partitioning to reveal limits and trade-offs. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
