Thanks for the information.
Yes, I already checked that mail thread. The proposal in that thread was
trying to add
the columnar storage in the core itself. The patch that is proposed is an
extension to
provide columnar storage with the help of index.

May be we can discuss the pros and cons in adding columnar store in the
core itself
or a pluggable storage approach.
