MSQL+: A Plugin Toolkit for Similarity Search under Metric Spaces in Distributed Relational Database Systems
Summary: MSQL+ brings metric-space similarity search into distributed RDBMSs as a SQL-integrated plugin, avoiding standalone specialized indexes. It indexes arbitrary objects with B+-trees and parallelizes preprocessing and query execution. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
