Actually this is quite a bit different. This is more a columnar-store version of SQLite, basically an embedded OLAP database, which is pretty cool. I’m not aware of other column-stores in this niche, most are distributed systems meant for big data and so are much more complicated to setup and manage.

Have a look at duckdb, it's is another interesting tool that's columnar and embedded.

It would be amazing if the world of open-source column stores matured a little bit relative to where we are today...

I was referring to the native execution using LLVM. Which should be independent of the underlying storage strategy (column-store, row-store)
