To Be Determined File System; a Preview

Column Storage for the AI Era
In the past few years, we’ve seen a cambrian explosion of new columnar formats, challenging the hegemony of Parquet: Lance, Fastlanes, Nimble, Vortex, AnyBlox, F3 (File Format for the Future). The thinking is that the context has changed so much that the design of yore (the previous decade) is not going to cut it moving forward. This seemed a bit intriguing to me, especially since the main contribution of Parquet has been to provide a standard for columnar storage. Parquet is not simply a file format. As an open source project hosted by the ASF, it acts as a consensus building machine for the industry. Creating six new formats is not going to help with interroperability. I spent some time to understand a bit better how things actually changed and how Parquet needs to adapt to meet the demands of this new era. In this post I’ll discuss my findings.
PBF Format - OpenStreetMap Wiki
PBF format ("Protocolbuffer Binary Format") is primarily intended as an alternative to the XML format. It is about half of the size of a gzipped planet and about 30% smaller than a bzipped planet. It is also about 5x faster to write than a gzipped planet and 6x faster to read than a gzipped planet. The format was designed to support future extensibility and flexibility.
HAR (file format)
The HTTP Archive format, or HAR, is a JSON-formatted archive file format for logging of a web browser's interaction with a site. The common extension for these files is .har. The format is used, among other tools, by the HTTP Archive project to collect and analyze web performance data.
DASL: Content-Addressable aRchives (CAR)
The CAR format offers a serialized representation of set of content-addressed resources in one single concatenated stream, alongside a header that describes that content.

TigerFS
A filesystem backed by PostgreSQL, and a filesystem interface to PostgreSQL. TigerFS mounts a database as a directory. Every file is a real row. Writes are transactions. Multiple agents and humans can read and write concurrently with full ACID guarantees, locally or across machines. Any tool that works with files works out of the box.
Parquet
Apache Parquet Documentation Releases Apache Parquet is an open source, column-oriented data file format designed for efficient data storage and retrieval. It provides high performance compression and encoding schemes to handle complex data in bulk and is supported in many programming languages and analytics tools.
