๐Ÿ“‹ Changes

  • Optimized columnar storage on HDFS, S3, MinIO, local FS, GCS, and Redis. Significantly outperforms Parquet and ORC.
  • A distributed in-memory columnar cache that further improves I/O performance for data analytics.
  • External query engine integrations for Trino, Presto, Hive, and DuckDB. Significantly improves query performance in these query engines.
  • Metadata (database schema and data catalog) management for data lakes and warehouses.
  • Internal query accelerator (Pixels-Turbo) in serverless computing environments, including AWS Lambda and vHive (K8S+Knative+Firecracker).
  • REST query API that exposes Pixels as a serverless analytics service for external users.
