Technical White Paper
This Whitepaper introduces how RAG and Feature Stores can benefit from Alluxio’s high-performance caching, serving as an acceleration layer atop hyperscale data lakes for queries on Parquet files. Alluxio enables direct, ultra-low-latency point queries on Parquet files, achieving submillisecond latency per query and 3,000 queries per second on a single thread—representing a 1,000x performance gain over querying Parquet files stored on S3 Standard and achieves equivalent latency as S3 Express but at a fraction of the cost.
