Thanks for writing about your experiences. Why not use an existing serialization framework, such as Protobuf, instead of building something in-house?

- jnewhouse 10y agoI don't think protobuf was around for public use when we came up with this format, which began around 2005. We use Protobuf internally, and some of our columns are actually byte[]'s containing protobuf data. We now support Parquet and are doing more work with other big data tools, but we've had a hard time matching the performance of our custom stuff.
