Learned Cardinality Estimation: An In-depth Study
Summary: Introduces a taxonomy and unified workflow for learned cardinality estimators, enabling fair, apples-to-apples evaluation of join scenarios. Conducts comprehensive experiments on IMDB and TPC-DS beyond toy datasets, demystifies black-box models, identifies error drivers, and links CE to query optimization, suggesting actionable research directions.
