As @tustvold mentions, using native types for single columns should be significantly faster than any row format (thought we need to prove that). I do wonder if fixed width formats would be useful for multi-column equality comparisons (again we would need to show this via benchmarks, etc) I wonder if one of the hesitations with the "FixedWidthRows" describes how this is implemented rather than its major usecase. Maybe we could name it something like "EqualityRows" or something given it focuses just on equality rather than ordering -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
