R* Optimizer Validation and Performance Evaluation for Distributed Queries

Summary: Validates R* for distributed queries by logging actual message, I/O and CPU costs to DB tables for automation. Findings: cost model accurate; local costs matter on medium nets; full inner-table shipping beats tuple fetch; Bloomjoins beat semijoins and R* plans. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
