Fast Queries Over Heterogeneous Data Through Engine Customization

Summary: Proteus unifies CSV, JSON, and relational data through an expressive cross-model algebra, avoiding per-format integration layers. Query- and workload-specific code generation customizes execution to the data and storage, outperforming general-purpose and specialized systems. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
