The Variant type is designed to store and process semi-structured data
efficiently, even with heterogeneous values.
Query engines encode each Variant value in a self-describing format, and store
it as a group containing `value` and `metadata` binary fields in Parquet.
-Since data is often partially homogenous, it can be beneficial to extract
certain fields into separate Parquet columns to further improve performance.
+Since data is often partially homogeneous, it can be beneficial to extract
certain fields into separate Parquet columns to further improve performance.
This process is **shredding**.
Shredding enables the use of Parquet's columnar representation for more
compact data encoding, column statistics for data skipping, and partial
projections.
