Parametric Query Optimization

Summary: Parametric query optimization yields multiple plans, each optimal for a subset of run-time values (notably buffer size). General formulation; randomized algorithms with sideways information passing enable optimizing many buffer sizes within the time of a single run, maintaining quality.
