WARLOCK: A Data Allocation Tool for Parallel Warehouses

Summary: WARLOCK automatically ranks multidimensional fragmentations and physical disk allocations for parallel data warehouses using cost-model and heuristic analysis. It uniquely accounts for hierarchy, skew, bitmap/fact-table access, I/O, and Shared-Everything/Shared-Disk architectures. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
