Looking Ahead Makes Query Plans Robust: Making the Initial Case with In-Memory Star Schema Data Warehouse Workloads

Summary: Defines robustness of query evaluation to the plan space and introduces Lookahead Information Passing (LIP) for in-memory star-schema workloads. LIP narrows execution-time variance across left-deep plans, achieving near-optimal performance for all plans under plausible assumptions; evaluated with skew and correlation.
