> There are several limitations of the current RC File format that I'd like to address by creating a new format:
> * each column value is stored as a binary blob, which means:
> ** the entire column value must be read, decompressed, and deserialized
> ** the file format can't use smarter type-specific compression
> ** push down filters can't be evaluated
> * the start of each row group needs to be found by scanning
> * user metadata can only be added to the file when the file is created
> * the file doesn't store the number of rows per a file or row group
> * there is no mechanism for seeking to a particular row number, which is required for external indexes.
> * there is no mechanism for storing light weight indexes within the file to enable push-down filters to skip entire row groups.
> * the type of the rows aren't stored in the file
