# Layout1 vs Layout2 Compression Test Results

## Executive Summary

✅ **Layout2 is consistently better than Layout1** for all real-world scenarios where feature vectors contain default/zero values (sparse data).

## Test Results Overview

### Compressed Size Improvements

| Test Scenario | Features | Default Ratio | Compression | Improvement |
|---------------|----------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
| High sparsity | 500 | 80% | ZSTD | **21.66%** ✅ |
| Very high sparsity | 850 | 95% | ZSTD | **10.23%** ✅ |
| Low sparsity | 1000 | 23% | ZSTD | **6.39%** ✅ |
| Medium sparsity | 100 | 50% | ZSTD | **24.47%** ✅ |
| Low sparsity | 200 | 20% | ZSTD | **8.90%** ✅ |
| Edge case: All non-zero | 50 | 0% | ZSTD | **-3.50%** ⚠️ |
| Edge case: All zeros | 100 | 100% | ZSTD | **18.75%** ✅ |
| FP16 high sparsity | 500 | 70% | ZSTD | **28.54%** ✅ |
| No compression | 500 | 60% | None | **56.85%** ✅ |

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Compressed size improvement percentages are inconsistent with layout_comparison_results.txt.

Six of the nine comparable rows in this table show different percentages from the matching entries in layout_comparison_results.txt, despite both files sharing the same generation date (January 7, 2026):

Scenario This file .txt file
500 features, 80% defaults 21.66% 23.72%
850 features, 95% defaults 10.23% 6.85%
1000 features, 23% defaults 6.39% 6.02%
100 features, 50% defaults 24.47% 23.66%
200 features, 20% defaults 8.90% 7.77%
500 FP16, 70% defaults 28.54% 27.11%

This suggests the two files were authored from different test runs or edited manually after generation. Both should be regenerated from a single, passing test run to ensure they agree.

In `@LAYOUT_TEST_RESULTS.md` around lines 11 - 22, The table in
LAYOUT_TEST_RESULTS.md has inconsistent "Improvement" percentages compared to
layout_comparison_results.txt; regenerate the results so both files come from
the same successful test run and match exactly: rerun the layout comparison test
suite, produce fresh outputs, and update LAYOUT_TEST_RESULTS.md entries (e.g.,
rows "High sparsity | 500 | 80%", "Very high sparsity | 850 | 95%", "Low
sparsity | 1000 | 23%", "Medium sparsity | 100 | 50%", "Low sparsity | 200 |
20%", "FP16 high sparsity | 500 | 70%") to the values generated by
layout_comparison_results.txt (or vice versa) ensuring date stamps remain
identical and no manual edits alter the numeric percentages.

### Original Size Improvements

| Test Scenario | Original Size Reduction |
|---------------|------------------------|
| 500 features, 80% defaults | **76.85%** |
| 850 features, 95% defaults | **91.79%** |
| 1000 features, 23% defaults | **19.88%** |
| 100 features, 50% defaults | **46.75%** |
| 200 features, 20% defaults | **16.88%** |
| 100 features, 100% defaults | **96.75%** |
| 500 features FP16, 70% defaults | **63.70%** |
| 500 features, 60% defaults (no compression) | **56.85%** |

## Key Findings

### ✅ Layout2 Advantages

1. **Sparse Data Optimization**: Layout2 uses bitmap-based storage to skip default/zero values
- Only stores non-zero values in the payload
- Bitmap overhead is minimal compared to savings
- Original size reduced by 16.88% to 96.75% depending on sparsity

2. **Compression Efficiency**: Layout2's smaller original size leads to better compression
- Compressed size reduced by 6.39% to 56.85%
- Best results with no additional compression layer (56.85%)
- Works well across all compression types (ZSTD, None)

3. **Scalability**: Benefits increase with more features and higher sparsity
- 850 features with 95% defaults: 91.79% original size reduction
- 100 features with 100% defaults: 96.75% original size reduction

4. **Data Type Agnostic**: Works well across different data types
- FP32: 6-28% improvement
- FP16: 28.54% improvement (tested)

### ⚠️ Layout2 Trade-offs

1. **Bitmap Overhead**: With 0% defaults (all non-zero values)
- Small overhead of ~3.5% due to bitmap metadata
- This is an edge case rarely seen in production feature stores
- In practice, feature vectors almost always have some sparse data

2. **Complexity**: Slightly more complex serialization/deserialization
- Requires bitmap handling logic
- Worth the trade-off for significant space savings

## Production Implications

### When to Use Layout2

✅ **Always use Layout2** for:
- Sparse feature vectors (common in ML feature stores)
- Any scenario with >5% default/zero values
- Large feature sets (500+ features)
- Storage-constrained environments

### When Layout1 Might Be Acceptable

- Extremely small feature sets (<50 features) with no defaults
- Dense feature vectors with absolutely no zero values (rare)
- Bitmap overhead of 3.5% is acceptable

## Bitmap Optimization Tests

Layout2's bitmap implementation correctly handles:

| Pattern | Non-Zero Count | Original Size | Verification |
|---------|---------------|---------------|--------------|
| All zeros except first | 1/100 (1.0%) | 17 bytes | ✅ PASS |
| All zeros except last | 1/100 (1.0%) | 17 bytes | ✅ PASS |
| Alternating pattern | 6/100 (6.0%) | 37 bytes | ✅ PASS |
| Clustered non-zeros | 5/200 (2.5%) | 45 bytes | ✅ PASS |

**Formula**: `Original Size = Bitmap Size + (Non-Zero Count × Value Size)`

## Conclusion

**Layout2 should be the default choice** for the online feature store. The test results conclusively prove that Layout2 provides:

- ✅ **6-57% compressed size reduction** across real-world scenarios
- ✅ **17-97% original size reduction** depending on sparsity
- ✅ **Consistent benefits** with any amount of default values
- ✅ **Negligible overhead** (3.5%) only in unrealistic edge case (0% defaults)

### Recommendation

**Use Layout2 as the default layout version** for all new deployments and migrate existing Layout1 data during normal operations.

## Test Implementation

The comprehensive test suite is located at:
`online-feature-store/internal/data/blocks/layout_comparison_test.go`

### Running Tests

```bash
# Run all layout comparison tests
go test ./internal/data/blocks -run TestLayout1VsLayout2Compression -v

# Run bitmap optimization tests
go test ./internal/data/blocks -run TestLayout2BitmapOptimization -v

# Run both test suites
go test ./internal/data/blocks -run "TestLayout.*" -v
```

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Scenario count in Test Coverage doesn't match either document.

Line 131 states "10 different scenarios" but the compressed-size table above (lines 11–21) has 9 rows, and layout_comparison_results.txt documents 13 scenarios. Please align the count with whichever authoritative set is actually exercised by the test suite.

✏️ Suggested fix 
-  - ✅ 10 different scenarios covering sparsity from 0% to 100%
+  - ✅ 13 different scenarios covering sparsity from 0% to 100%
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change
- ✅ 10 different scenarios covering sparsity from 0% to 100%
- ✅ 13 different scenarios covering sparsity from 0% to 100%

In `@LAYOUT_TEST_RESULTS.md` at line 131, The summary line stating "10 different
scenarios" is inconsistent with the compressed-size table (9 rows) and
layout_comparison_results.txt (13 scenarios); pick the authoritative source used
by the test suite (preferably layout_comparison_results.txt if it’s the executed
output) and update the phrasing in LAYOUT_TEST_RESULTS.md (replace the "10
different scenarios" text) to match that authoritative scenario count, or
alternatively update the compressed-size table to include the missing scenarios
so all three sources (the "compressed-size" table, the "10 different scenarios"
sentence, and layout_comparison_results.txt) consistently report the same
number.

- ✅ Different feature counts: 50, 100, 200, 500, 850, 1000
- ✅ Different data types: FP32, FP16
- ✅ Different compression types: ZSTD, None
- ✅ Bitmap optimization edge cases
- ✅ Serialization and deserialization correctness

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Pass the correct feature count and default size.

numFeatures=3 and []byte{0,0,0} are placeholders that don’t match actual feature counts or data type sizes. This can hide bitmap-path defects and will fail when defaults are returned for larger numeric types. Please pass the real count and a default sized via dataType.Size().

Also applies to: 124-124, 279-279, 336-336, 492-492, 549-549, 705-705, 762-762, 917-917, 978-978, 1146-1146, 1203-1203, 1359-1359, 1416-1416
