Rainbow: Risk-aware Index Benefit Estimation Facing Out Of Distribution Workloads
Summary: Rainbow: graph-transformer encoder over query-plan graphs for accurate index-benefit estimation. Bayesian neural estimator provides principled uncertainty and fallback to the what-if caller under OOD workloads, preventing tuning regressions and boosting advisor quality.
