V-SMART-Join: A Scalable MapReduce Framework for All-Pair Similarity Joins of Multisets and Vectors

Summary: V-SMART-Join is a skew-aware, two-stage MapReduce framework for exact all-pair similarity joins over sets, multisets, and vectors. It scales to high-cardinality Internet data, substantially outperforming VCL and enabling proxy discovery from IP–cookie multisets. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
