Technical Perspective: Efficient and Reusable Lazy Sampling
Thomas Neumann · ACM SIGMOD Record · 2024
When interactively working with data, query latency is very important. In particular when ad-hoc queries are written in an explorative manner, it is essential to quickly get feedback in order to refine and correct the query based upon result values. This interactive use case is difficult to support if the underlying data is large, as analyzing large volumes of data is inherently expensive.
