Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a set of partitions containing records spanning a time interval, wherein the records include a set of values for a metric and a set of dimensions associated with the set of values. For each dimensional subset associated with the set of dimensions, the system aggregates, based on the set of partitions, a corresponding subset of values for the metric into a distribution-based representation of the metric. The system then stores a dictionary encoding of the dimensional subset in association with the distribution-based representation of the metric. Finally, the system calculates, based on the distribution-based representation, one or more quantiles associated with the dimensional subset and outputs the quantile(s) for use in characterizing a distribution of the metric.
