A Deep Dive into Common Open Formats for Analytical DBMSs
Summary: Systematic evaluation of Arrow, Parquet, and ORC against OLAP DBMS requirements, showing how layout, vectorization, compression, metadata, and mmap trade-offs affect query efficiency and integration. Identifies co‑design opportunities for unified in‑memory/on‑disk representation and practical guidance for implementers. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
