[1.1.0] - Q1 2026

Added - Optimization Release

RocksDB Advanced Features

• TTL Support: Auto-expiring data via DBWithTTL::Open() for time-series compliance
• Incremental Backups: 80-90% storage reduction vs full backups
  • BackupEngine with share_table_files=true
  • createIncrementalBackup(), restoreFromBackup(), getBackupCount() methods
• Statistics Export: JSON bridge to OpenTelemetry
  • exportStatisticsJSON() and getStatistic() methods
  • 13 key metrics: BYTES_WRITTEN, BYTES_READ, BLOCK_CACHE_HIT, etc.

TBB Parallelization

• Parallel Sort: Replaced 23 std::sort calls with tbb::parallel_sort
  • 2-4x speedup for large result sets
  • Applied to fulltext, spatial, vector, and hybrid search results
• Concurrent Hash Maps: Lock-free caches with 2-3x throughput
  • Converted PromptManager from std::unordered_map + std::mutex to tbb::concurrent_hash_map
  • Lock-free reads for high concurrency

Arrow Parquet Export

• Data Lake Integration: exportToParquet() with type inference
  • Support for compression codecs: snappy, gzip, zstd
  • 90% storage reduction vs RocksDB for cold data archival
  • exportCollectionToParquet() for full collection exports

vLLM Co-Location
