Adaptive Query Processing in the Looking Glass
Summary: Unifying taxonomy and comparison of adaptive query processing, grouping systems into plan‑based, CQ‑based, and routing‑based families and evaluating plan quality, statistics monitoring/re‑optimization, plan migration, and scalability. Proposes proactive re‑optimization (choose plans expecting reopt) and plan logging (record optimizer decisions across conditions to enable reuse and analyze adaptivity benefits).
