[Feature Request]: Save block version as a disk file. about infinity HOT 2 CLOSED

Hello, I'm a newbie in the community and I'd like to try this issue. But I want some help. Now, I seeBlockVersion::SaveToFile is write to a file not catalog. How can I understand "store block version information into a file". And where can I got some " block column data solution" refer. Thanks

Your understanding is correct, the current version file can now be stored on the disk. However, this file is currently considered as part of the catalog. We can see that the BlockEntry:: Deserialize function directly reads the version file.

We have conducted some tests before, and when a large amount of data is inserted into infinity, this version file will occupy a lot of memory in memory.

Perhaps the initial description of this issue led you to misunderstandings. The purpose of this issue is to manage version files like block column files using a buffer manager. Use pointers like buffer objects for reading and writing. Behind the Buffer Manager is a component that can manage global objects within the database
