Have fun with the new CTable object:

* columnar storage format
* SOTA compression
* transparent in-memory and disk-based operation
* support for missing/null values
* multiple indexing engines for fast queries in large tables
* easy interoperability with parquet, arrow, and pandas-like ecosystems

Compress Better, Analyze Faster, Integrate Easier
