Optimal Column Layout for Hybrid Workloads

Summary: Optimization-based columnar layout for hybrid workloads; tunes partitions, ranges, and buffer space to fit workload mix. Casper, an in-memory engine, delivers up to 2.32x update throughput and 2.14x hybrid throughput over state-of-the-art layouts. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
