Determining Exact Quantiles with Randomized Summaries
Summary: Leverages randomized summaries (KLL) to form probabilistic filters that shrink the quantile range, reducing passes vs deterministic methods. Deployed in IoTDB's LSM-tree, it enables cross-query pass sharing and shows ~0.5 fewer passes with ~18% speedup empirically. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
