ReStore: Reusing Results of MapReduce Jobs

Summary: ReStore enables storage and reuse of intermediate MapReduce results to accelerate future workflows. It reuses whole-job outputs and materializes operator-level results inside jobs; implemented as a Pig extension on Hadoop with measurable PigMix speedups. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
