Balance-Aware Distributed String Similarity-Based Query Processing System

Summary: Dima: distributed in-memory Spark system for similarity queries; supports similarity select, join, and top-k. Balance-aware signatures with global/local indexes balance load and accelerate queries; four real datasets show 1–3 orders of magnitude speedups. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
