Dynamic Workload Management for Very Large Data Warehouses - Juggling Feathers and Bowling Balls

Summary: BI workload manager for highly variable, hard-to-estimate query runtimes, using fuzzy-logic dynamic execution control driven by customer SLAs. Industrial-workload experiments show that a few problem queries—and false-positive interventions—can severely affect thousands of queries. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
