//! Columnar Compression with Type-Aware Encoding (Task 9)
//!
//! Implements automatic encoding selection based on column cardinality:
//! - Dictionary encoding for cardinality < 1% (6× compression)
//! - RLE for cardinality < 10%
//! - Delta encoding for sorted/sequential data (4-8× compression)
//! - Raw + LZ4 for high cardinality
//!
//! ## Compression Decision Heuristic
//!
//! ```text
//! cardinality = count_distinct(column)
//! ratio = cardinality / total_rows
//!
//! if ratio < 0.01:      Dictionary encoding
//! elif ratio < 0.1:     RLE (run-length encoding)
//! elif is_sorted:       Delta encoding
//! else:                 Raw + LZ4
//! ```
