GIS Navigation Boosted by Column Stores
Summary: Column-store with GIS ops enables 640B-point data queries; lightweight Imprints index yields cache-friendly spatial queries on flat tables. Real-time QGIS visualizations show performance on scale rivaling file-based approaches for 26-attribute LIDAR. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
