FlatStor: An Efficient Embedded-Index Based Columnar Data Layout for Multimodal Data Workloads

Summary: FlatStor: a FlatBuffers-based columnar layout with embedded indexes and modality-aware vertical partitioning that stores each modality as a byte stream to enable fast point access for multimodal, multi-purpose workloads. Uses FSST compression; reports ~99.6% latency and ~91.3% storage reduction vs Parquet and 41.3% lower latency vs LanceV2. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Mar 13 2026)
