Column Partition and Permutation for Run Length Encoding in Columnar Databases
Summary: Rearranging columns for improved Run Length Encoding in in-memory columnar DBs. An incremental heuristic selects a subset of columns to compress and a row order to boost RLE, addressing NP-hardness and achieving up to 25% better compression than compressing all columns.
