Five queries improve substantially on both latency and total compute hours. Such case studies lead us to strongly believe that the batched log analytics jobs that are prevalent in production big-data clusters can benefit substantially from query-time sampling. 8 out of the 22 TPC-H queries cannot be advantaged by sampling.
