Thomas D'Silva commented on PHOENIX-2565:
-----------------------------------------

[~shehzaadn] We has discussed implementing a different storage format that uses 
a bitset to efficiently determine if a value was null or missing . If we did 
this, then we could use this storage format for multi-tenant tables with views.

> Store data for immutable tables in single KeyValue

> Since an immutable table (i.e. declared with IMMUTABLE_ROWS=true) will never 
> update a column value, it'd be more efficient to store all column values for 
> a row in a single KeyValue. We could use the existing format we have for 
> variable length arrays.
> For backward compatibility, we'd need to support the current mechanism. Also, 
> you'd no longer be allowed to transition an existing table to/from being 
> immutable. I think the best approach would be to introduce a new IMMUTABLE 
> keyword and use it like this:
> {code}
> CREATE IMMUTABLE TABLE ...
> {code}
