SCompression: Enhancing Database Knob Tuning Efficiency Through Slice-Based OLTP Workload Compression
Summary: Defines the OLTP-specific compression objective for knob tuning and introduces SCompression: slice-by-time compression that preserves concurrency and transaction context so compressed workloads reflect config-sensitive performance variation. Segments workloads, slices to retain concurrency, and cluster-samples slices under time constraints; replays compressed workloads to speed up tuning up to 40× with ≈5% performance loss.
