I've gotta admit I'm weary of the usefulness of a table with billions of rows. Doesn't that just drown the user with noise? Have you explored alternative means of presenting the data? Billions of anything sounds like too much information for any human to make sense of and process. Could you explain a bit about your use-case?


Our application is similar to excel/google spreadsheets. We don't expect the user to scroll through all that data, but we give tools to do sorting, filtering, plotting, etc. over that data.
