Beyond Compression: A Comprehensive Evaluation of Lossless Floating-Point Compression
Summary: Comprehensive empirical evaluation of lossless floating-point compressors for columnar engines, measuring compression ratio, in-situ DB query performance, and ML queries (distance, k-NN/RAG); implemented in Rust and released as a library. Finds clear trade-offs: no single method dominates both space and query speed—some compressors yield higher compression but slower DB/ML query performance. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
