@rngcntr Thank you for the great work! I didn't have a chance to review your code yet but wanted to ask several question. I see that methods in [IndexSelectivityEstimator.java](https://github.com/rngcntr/janusgraph/blob/2d7acd070fb2eff7a647cb9da7db54f043d5072d/janusgraph-core/src/main/java/org/janusgraph/graphdb/query/index/IndexSelectivityEstimator.java) are...

> Agreed. But even properties alone would not be enough, as the selectivity also depends on the predicate. It's true but I suspect predicates selectivity can be calculated (i.e. they...

Notice, I restarted previously passed `dist` tests for the commit https://github.com/JanusGraph/janusgraph/commit/666a81cda3c79dfa0df19013dca0c656a9b7d9ee Now not only they failed for Java 11, but also for Java 8 as well. See failed job: https://github.com/JanusGraph/janusgraph/actions/runs/5539504707/job/15297672033
