Brighthouse: An Analytic Data Warehouse for Ad-hoc Queries

Summary: Brighthouse uses an ultra-small Knowledge Grid metadata layer to replace classical indexes in a columnar, compressed data warehouse. The grid is auto-tuned to optimize ad-hoc queries by reducing reads and decompression, boosting analytic execution. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
