Hi Uwe,

Since I was involved, along with others, in the design and discussion of the 
columnar API, I wanted to share my perspective as well.

The columnar indexing API is still relatively new and remains experimental. I 
backported it to branch_10x, and while I think it is in good shape, my view is 
that it would benefit from some real-world usage before we make it non-final. 
My hope is that we can gather feedback and iterate through a small number of 
10.x releases, and then finalize the API in the main branch once we've gained 
that experience.

-Chris.
