We have built several applications using Sketch; here we describe a billionrow spreadsheet, and a distributed-systems performance analyzer. Sketch applications allow interactive and responsive exploration of complex distributed datasets, scaling effectively to use large computational resources.Interacting with Large Distributed Datasets Using Sketch10.2312/pgv.2016118031-43
