### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? This is a crazy idea Now that DataFusion is the fastest engine for Parquet in ClickBench (see https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/13099), a natural follow-on question is “what would it take to make it the fastest overall engine”? ### Describe the solution you'd like TLDR is that I think it needs a special file format. A custom format is fine and consistent with other systems in ClickBench which use various proprietary formats. So, as a fascinating experiment / academic project, someone could be design / hack up a “ClickBench” file format and DataFusion `TableProvider`, specifically designed for getting the fastest ClickBench results. While I suspect this format would not be particularly general purpose, I think it would show **How easy it is to make custom formats for particular use cases with DataFusion (don’t have to worry about all the rest of the query engine machinery)** ### Describe alternatives you've considered _No response_ ### Additional context This was inspired by @pauldix talking about using DataFusion to innovate at “the edges” of database design https://twitter.com/pauldix/status/1855330035974160483 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
