| Abstract | Quantiles are a crucial type of order statistics in databases. Extensive research has been focused on maintaining a space-efficient structure for approximate quantile computation as the underlying dataset is updated. The existing solutions, however, are designed to support only the current, most-updated, snapshot of the dataset. Queries on the past versions of the data cannot be answered. This paper studies the problem of historical quantile search. The objective is to enable ε-approximate quantile retrieval on any snapshot of the dataset in history. The problem is very important in analyzing the evolution of a distribution, monitoring the quality of services, query optimization in temporal databases, and so on. We present the first formal results in the literature. First, we prove a novel theoretical lower bound on the space cost of supporting ε-approximate historical quantile queries. The bound reveals the fundamental difference between answering quantile queries about the past and those about the present time. Second, we propose a structure for finding ε-approximate historical quantiles, and show that it consumes more space than the lower bound by only a square-logarithmic factor. Extensive experiments demonstrate that in practice our technique performs much better than predicted by theory. In particular, the quantiles it returns are remarkably more accurate than the theoretical precision guarantee. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
