There exists a large body of work on online drift detection with the goal of dynamically finding and maintaining changes in data streams. In this paper, we adopt a query-based approach to drift detection. Our approach relies on a drift index, a structure that captures drift at different time granularities and enables flexible drift queries. We formalize different drift queries that represent real-world scenarios and develop query evaluation algorithms that use different mate-rializations of the drift index as well as strategies for online index maintenance. We describe a thorough study of the performance of our algorithms on real-world and synthetic datasets with varying change rates.
