Sibyl: Forecasting Time-Evolving Query Workloads

Summary: Sibyl forecasts time-evolving query workloads, with full statements, across multiple future windows. Template-based featurization plus a stacked-LSTM encoder-decoder handles drift and large windows, delivering 87.3% median F1 and 1.7x/1.3x gains for MV/index selection.
