Context-Aware Segments: Solving the “Scatter-Read” Problem
Talk
Traditional OpenSearch segments are context-blind, scattering data across multiple segments. We introduce Context-Aware Segments (CAS), an architecture that brings "sharding" logic to the segment level. By enforcing document locality during indexing, we slashed query latency and minimized data footprint through superior pruning and compression.
