Refactoring Index Tuning Process with Benefit Estimation

Summary: RIBE refactors index tuning by removing redundant workload queries and using plan statistics with an attention-based model to estimate index benefits. It skips costly what-if calls without DBMS changes, delivering 1–2 orders of magnitude speedups and better tuning quality. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
