Accurate Summary-based Cardinality Estimation Through the Lens of Cardinality Estimation Graphs
Summary: Analyzes two classes of summary-based cardinality estimators for graph DBMS: optimistic estimators with precomputed statistics and pessimistic LP-based estimators. Using Cardinality Estimation Graphs (CEGs), demonstrates that path choice (max vs min weight) depends on query structure, unifying optimistic and pessimistic approaches for cross-optimization.
