Performance Measurements of Compressed Bitmap Indices
Summary: Empirically compares LZ, variable-bit, and variable-byte bitmap compression in DBMS-style indices, measuring both space and Boolean-operation costs. Finds no universal winner: optimal compression and evaluation depend on bitmap characteristics and query operations, motivating adaptive designs. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
