Claim 10:
11. The computer system of claim 7, wherein the group of processor units executes program instructions to:
receive a query at an intermediate node in the intermediate nodes, compare the query to the group of retained data sketches at the intermediate node;
send the query to a set of child nodes in the group of child nodes based on a match of the query to a set of retained data sketches for the set of child nodes, wherein a child node in the group of child nodes is skipped when a retained data sketch received from the child node does not have a match to an associated retained data sketch at the intermediate node;
aggregate a group of results received in response to the query to form an aggregated result; and
returning, by the group of processor units, the aggregated result to a requestor.
