POLAR: Adaptive and Non-invasive Join Order Selection via Plans of Least Resistance

“POLAR” lowers the adoption barrier for adaptive query processing in database systems
A preprint by BIFOLD researchers titled "POLAR: Adaptive and Non-invasive Join Order Selection via Plans of Least Resistance" is set to be presented at the VLDB conference in 2024. The database engineering paper introduces a technique for reordering joins that is adaptive, with a focus on non-invasive integration and low overhead.
