Data Morphing: An Adaptive, Cache-Conscious Storage Technique

Summary: Data Morphing adaptively reorganizes in-memory attributes into workload-derived, cache-conscious partitions, overcoming N-ary/PAX tradeoffs. Its dynamic storage model and partitioning algorithms improve heterogeneous workloads spanning scans and index operations. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
