Adaptive Data Skipping in Main-Memory Systems
Summary: Adaptive data skipping framework for main-memory scans that adapts metadata reads to arbitrary distributions and workloads, mitigating wasted skips on non-sorted data. Adaptive zonemaps on an in-memory column store prototype yields up to 1.4x speedup, showing data skipping can be tuned to distributions. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
