Vortex borrows a few ideas from the FastLanes project, such as bit-packing and ALP. However, it’s unclear how well these are implemented — their performance on ClickBench appears worse than Parquet in both storage size and decompression speed, which is counterintuitive.
Technically, Vortex is documented more like a BtrBlocks-style format, which we’ve benchmarked and compared against in depth.
