Goal
Evaluate supported primitive predicates directly on encoded pages when doing so is cheaper than decoding the predicate column to Arrow.
Context
Implementation and benchmark: #8661
Contract
Support exact i32/u32 comparisons on Constant, RLE, and bitpacked pages.
Select the encoded path independently per fragment from encoding, sampled selectivity, selected ranges, and predicted read amplification.
Retain the ordinary decoded filter for unsupported or unfavorable cases.
Stop encoded evaluation when bounded amplification or selected-range limits are exceeded.
Short-circuit Constant outcomes only when metadata and nullability make the result exact.
Preserve query results and fallback behavior for every unsupported encoding and predicate.
Completion gates
perf: evaluate primitive predicates on encoded pages #8661 is reviewed and merged.
Exact-result and fallback coverage passes across supported encodings, nullability, and fragmented inputs.
Representative Local FS and object-storage measurements document accepted wins and rejected-path overhead.
