isn't it what Apache Arrow [1], Apache CarbonData [2] and others are for?

The bit in Arrow closest to this would probably be Gandiva I think:

  > Gandiva - Vectorized processing for Apache Arrow

https://arrow.apache.org/blog/2018/12/05/gandiva-donation/

It's wicked neat tech.

I think it’s more like Gandiva or DataFusion (both from the Apache Arrow project).
