Hi Noam, We're tuning CSV bulk load in PHOENIX-1711, but it won't get you a 7x speedup (maybe 30% at the most if we're lucky). The other thing you'd lose by writing all values into one column is incremental update speed which may or may not apply for your use case. To update a single value, you'd need to read the existing value, stitch in the new value and write it back out again.
If your use case doesn't require incremental update, you can write them all in a single column and still query and access them individually. The easiest way I can think of doing this would be to store them in a protobuf and serialize it into a VARBINARY column. Then create a built-in function that allows accessing them positionally or by name. Once you have that, could even add functional indexes over individual fields (obviously with the overhead that indexes add). PHOENIX-477 is about formalizing this as SQL Structs which this could become if taken far enough. Even without this, just having a set of built-in functions that work off of a protobuf would be a useful first step and a great contribution.
