G-CARE: A Framework for Performance Benchmarking of Cardinality Estimation Techniques for Subgraph Matching

Summary: Introduces G-CARE, a unified framework to realize and benchmark all existing cardinality-estimation techniques for subgraph matching on graph and relational DBs. Evaluation on RDF and non-RDF graphs shows widespread inaccuracies in prior methods; a simple online-aggregation sampling approach consistently outperforms them.
