Mainlining Databases: Supporting Fast Transactional Workloads on Universal Columnar Data File Formats

Summary: In-memory DBMS storage emits universal columnar blocks (Apache Arrow) tailored to data usage, reducing OLTP-analytic data movement. Relaxed update formats with lightweight transforms to read-optimized layouts on cold data and fast Arrow exports in NoisePage yield OLTP parity and large export speedups.
