Modeling Shifting Workloads for Learned Database Systems
Summary: Online replay buffer management builds a concise model of shifting workloads. Adapts rapidly to skew and correlations, mitigates out-of-distribution inputs, and improves learned cardinality/cost predictions, validated across diverse data domains and workload shifts.
