@rmuir Thats a fair point. I think if you can control the schema and know the precision, what you are suggesting makes sense i.e. just index it as an integer. The case for ALP is when that choice isn't available, for example fields with unknown/varying precision or metrics that are float64 by spec ((Prometheus, OpenTelemetry etc). In such ALP finds the right scale automatically, and it will bring a lot of benefit in such cases? Let me know what you think. The benchmark was just to show quickly demonstrate the storage savings, and not an ideal real world scenario 😄 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
