encoded_pushdown.rs

1//! Encoded-domain predicate pushdown — evaluates predicates against column
2//! statistics without decoding the actual data.
3//!
4//! [`EncodedDomainEvaluator`] uses per-row-group `min`/`max` statistics
5//! stored in the segment metadata to determine whether a predicate can be
6//! satisfied or excluded without reading and decoding the column bytes.
7//! This can reduce CPU usage by up to 80% on filtered queries over sorted data.
