CarbonData index consists of multiple level of indices, a processing framework can leverage this index to reduce the task it needs to schedule and process, and it can also do skip scan in more finer grain unit (called blocklet) in task side scanning instead of scanning the whole file. * Operable encoded data :Through supporting efficient compression and global encoding schemes, can query on compressed/encoded data, the data can be converted just before returning the results to the users, which is "late materialized". * Column group: Allow multiple columns to form a column group that would be stored as row format. This reduces the row reconstruction cost at query time. @@ -75,8 +86,15 @@ You can also make those setting to be the default by setting to the "Defaults -> Read the [quick start](https://github.com/HuaweiBigData/carbondata/wiki/Quick-Start). ### Fork and Contribute -This is an open source project for everyone, and we are always open to people who want to use this system or contribute to it. +This is an active open source project for everyone, and we are always open to people who want to use this system or contribute to it.
