AbstractModern datasets are massive, posing a serious challenge to processing and storage. A principled approach for dealing with massive (metric) data is distance sketching. A distance sketch of a metric space (or a graph) is a compact structure that approximately preserves the distances between every pair of points (or vertices). The two most basic compactness measures are the size (i.e., the number of edges) and weight (i.e., the total edge weights) of the sketch. The compactness makes distance sketc
