Description

I came across this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2507.10391

and wonder how it looks like in LiquidCache.

we introduced string fingerprints—a lightweight
secondary index structure designed to approximate LIKE predicates,
albeit with false positives. This approach is particularly compelling
for columnar query engines, where fingerprints can help reduce
both compute and I/O overhead.
