1. Dictionary encoding make column storage more efficient with small size
2. when search,MDK/Min-Max can be used to do block/blocklet prunning in
oder to reduce IO. For now ,MDK is composed by dimensions with the oder of

> For case2, you can change script like :
> carbon.sql("create table if not exists test(a integer, b integer, c
> integer)
> STORED BY 'carbondata' TBLPROPERTIES ('DICTIONARY_INCLUDE'='a')");
