Fast Computation of Sparse Datacubes

Summary: Introduces a novel, scalable algorithm for fast sparse datacubes with many CUBE BY attributes. In-memory data uses multiple sorts with no I/O beyond input and output; out-of-core uses divide-and-conquer to sub-datacubes, with I/O cost linear in the number of CUBE BY attributes.
