Grep: A Graph Learning Based Database Partitioning System
Summary: Grep leverages a graph-based encoding of data and queries (columns as nodes, query relations as edges; weights from data diversity and joins) with graph neural networks to learn partitioning keys. An evaluation model predicts partitioning performance without repartitioning; deployed in a commercial DB, it delivers 68% throughput gain on 30K banking queries.
