Scheduling for shared window joins over data streams

Summary: Analyzes shared execution of windowed joins in continuous queries, exposing a performance flaw in prior sharing strategies for small windows. Proposes two alternatives and shows MQJ consistently delivers the best performance across workloads. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
