Computing Iceberg Queries Efficiently

Summary: Introduces low-memory, few-pass algorithms for iceberg aggregate queries, avoiding conventional sorting or hashing. Demonstrates substantial savings on multi-gigabyte Web data, exploiting the typically tiny set of above-threshold results. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
