Tempo: Robust and Self-Tuning Resource Management in Multi-tenant Parallel Databases
Summary: Tempo: robust, self-tuning RM for multi-tenant parallel databases. Declarative performance objectives drive automatic RM configuration with robustness guarantees; experiments on production traces (Facebook, Cloudera) show significant improvements over human-tuned RM settings.
