### Search before asking - [x] I had searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/skywalking/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and found no similar feature requirement. ### Description Design a comprehensive schema to capture all essential tracing constructs (traces, spans, tags) while optimizing for storage efficiency and query performance. Key Features: - **Sparse Primary Index**: Implement a sparse index for the traceID primary key, with rows ordered by traceID to enable fast point queries and range scans. - **Query Column Files**: Store each queryable column (e.g., serviceName, operationName, status) in separate files. These files must support skipping indexes (min-max, bloom filter) to accelerate filtering. Rows in these files are ordered by `traceID-spanID` to maintain alignment with span data. - **Span Data File**: Store span data (e.g., start/end timestamps, tags, logs) in a dedicated file, ordered by `traceID-spanID`. This ordering ensures that spans from the same trace are grouped together for efficient retrieval. - **Merge Optimization**: For non-overlapping span files during merging (e.g., no overlapping `traceID-spanID` ranges), support direct concatenation without scanning file content to minimize merge time. ### Use case _No response_ ### Related issues _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a pull request to implement this on your own? - [ ] Yes I am willing to submit a pull request on my own! ### Code of Conduct - [x] I agree to follow this project's [Code of Conduct](https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
