Random Sampling from Pseudo-Ranked B+ Trees

Summary: Introduces sampling from pseudo-ranked B+ trees, augmented with rank limits. Low rejection with marginal update cost; outperforms full-root updates and high-rejection sampling, validated on production databases and prototype workload simulations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
