The DFI index organises data models across multiple attributes using a compressive high-dimensional data structure, that can directly represent complex data types and relationships in the ingest stream.

DFI contains a state-of-the-art storage engine that is purpose-built for petabyte-scale storage densities, adaptive resharding, and high-dimensional access methods.

These capabilities are not commonly found in open source but are critical for spatiotemporal workloads and the type of indexing used.
