Column storage allows for efficiently querying tables with a large number of columns. It also allows for cheap addition and removal of column. In addition, bcolz objects are compressed by default for reducing memory/disk I/O needs. The compression process is carried out internally by Blosc, a high-performance compressor that is optimized for binary data. </longdescription> <upstream> <remote-id type="pypi">bcolz</remote-id> <remote-id type="github">Blosc/bcolz</remote-id> </upstream> </pkgmetadata>
