I feel like my ideal would be something more hybrid. It's pretty rare that I have a table that I decide upfront should be columnar. It's a lot more common that I want occasional analytics-like queries on my regular tables to not take forever.

[Joe, Hydra cofounder] That's good feedback. It's easy to change the default table type to rowstore "heap" (https://docs.hydra.so/guides/analytics#switching-the-default...).

We initiall set the rowstore as default, but people wouldn't create columnstore tables and were confused on why performance wasn't improving. So, figured this was cleaner, but you always have the option to switch the default table type back.
