> Rumours about alternative storage systems are extremely exciting, the idea of having a columnar materialised view (just guessing, not sure what the actual implementation will be like). Note that even if we get the pluggable storage work into v12 - which I hope and think we can do, I'm certainly spending more time on it than I'd like - it'll not include a columnar storage on its own. There's others working on storage engines, but the furthest along intended for core aren't, to my knowledge, columnar. And even if somebody submits one for core, it might be a while till it's fast enough to satisfy your demands ;)
