Self-Organizing Data Containers
Summary: Self-Organizing Data Containers (SDCs): a metadata-rich cloud storage format that instance-optimizes data representation to exploit actual data distributions and workloads, promising large speedups over static formats like Arrow/Parquet. Unifies partitioning, replication, indexing and materialization while capturing access histories and distributional statistics; presents a preliminary design, motivating experiments, and open optimization/systems challenges.
