Micro Adaptivity in Vectorwise

Summary: Micro Adaptivity keeps multiple primitive flavors and uses an epsilon-greedy learner to select a flavor, addressing performance diversity. Implemented in Vectorwise; micro-benchmarks and a TPC-H evaluation show robust, improved performance with less tuning. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
