BTW, can I express a small measure of disappointment that the name for the thing under discussion on this thread chose to be called "zedstore"? That seems to invite confusion with "zheap", especially in parts of the world where the last letter of the alphabet is pronounced "zed," where people are going to say zed-heap and zed-store. Brr.Surprised its felt this thread would initiate the invitation to confusion. Based on past internal and meetup discussions for few quite sometime now, the confusion already exists for zheap pronunciation because of the reason mentioned, as last letter is not pronounced universally same. Hence we explicitly called it zedstore to learn from and make the pronunciation world wide universal for new thing atleast.
Yeah, you can blame me for the name. It's a pun on zheap. I'm hoping we come up with a better name before this matures; I'm thinking it could be just "column store" or something like that in the end, but it's good to have a more unique name during development.
