Hi,
Here some encodings can be done on each field level and some can be done on
blocklet(batch of column data) level. So DICTIONARY encoding is done on
each field level and this FieldConverter is only encoding data on field
level.
RLE is applied on blocklet level so it is applied while writing the block,
please have a look at IndexStorage class for RLE encoding on blocklet. And
DELTA encoding only happens for measures on blocklet level, have a look at
ValueCompressionUtil class for DELTA encoding.
Regards,
Ravindra
