FlatStor: An Efficient Embedded-Index Based Columnar Data Layout for Multimodal Data Workloads

Summary: FlatStor is a FlatBuffers-based columnar layout with embedded indexes, vertically partitioning multimodal fields as byte streams and applying FSST compression. It enables fast point access and cuts inference latency/storage overhead by 99.6%/91.3% versus Parquet, outperforming LanceV2 by 41.3%. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
