And have you read anything about the drawbacks of columnar? They are there, but writing about them does not makes the headlines. > I wonder if there is any plans to move postgresql entirely to a columnar > store (or at least make it an option), maybe for version 10? An option may be good ( may, not sure because nothing is free. More complex code, more bug surface, some time will be eaten managing the extra complexity, less developer time available for each feature, ... ) , but IMHO a complete move would be bad. Columnar is not that good for a lot of postgres usages. If columnar were the silver bullet everybody would be doing it.
