Optimizing Queries On Compressed Bitmaps
Summary: Introduces a cost-based, linear-time dynamic-programming optimizer for Boolean expressions over compressed bitmaps, selecting operator algorithms based on format, density, and clusteredness. Rewriting heuristics further improve plans, delivering up to 3× faster execution with negligible optimization overhead. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
