Adaptive data transformations for QaaS

Summary: Apply query-driven lightweight transformations (transcoding, chunking, sorting) via serverless functions to reshape semi-structured data for QaaS, offsetting lack of indexes to reduce latency and cost. Propose a cloud middleware that adaptively selects transformations per data/query under user-specified latency/cost budgets and empirically evaluates the trade-offs.
