Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Delivered Manifest-based statistics storage for V3 LOON segments across read/write paths, enabling centralized statistics management, lazy manifest caching, and unified path resolution via a new StatsResolver. Introduced an FF I layer for manifest stats I/O and updated core components (pack_writer_v3, sort_compaction, segment_loader, L0 compactor, data_sync_service) to leverage the new path. Extended statistics coverage to bloom filter, BM25, text index, and JSON key index to improve query planning and caching. In parallel, fixed a critical data-safety bug by ensuring NewVarCharPrimaryKey clones input strings to prevent use-after-free in Arrow values, with changes propagating to related readers/writers.
