That mostly sound about right. As said in the ticket, if we stop writing the size at the beginning of the rows, we need to have marker of the end of row to know when to stop reading. So this will change the file format somewhat and should have an impact on quite a bit of files. The only one I'm not sure I see why you need modification is RowIndexEntry (maybe there is a good reason, just saying that a priori I'm not seeing which one). > and that I haven't gone off the deep end Feel free to put a wip branch somewhere if you want some feedback on the approach, even if said branch is not even compiling. -- Sylvain
