Near-Optimal Distributed Band-Joins through Recursive Partitioning

Summary: Recursive partitioning of the join-attribute space with a split-score yields near-optimal load and duplication for band-joins. Extends to multi-attribute band-joins, matching lower bounds within ~10% and reducing optimization cost versus prior work. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
