The FastLanes File Format
Summary: FastLanes is an open-source, SIMD/GPU-oriented columnar format replacing generic compression with cascaded lightweight encodings and multi-column compression. Fine-grained partial decompression enables cache-sized batches, improving both compression ratio and decompression speed over Parquet. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
