Simple (yet Efficient) Function Authoring for Vectorized Engines
Summary: Simple Function Interface (SFI): a row-style API that hides vectorization, columnar-layout and compilation details while emitting optimal tight loops for vectorized engines. Supports nested/recursive types, variadics and generics; enabled 1K+ Velox production functions with negligible overhead. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
