Embodiments relate to payload storage format for storing data in support of an aggregation function. As an input is subject to aggregation, the input is evaluated to ascertain a payload format for the aggregation. It is understood that there is more than one payload format. An evaluation of the aggregation key is a factor in the initial payload format. If the key is an addition to an existing aggregation, the evaluation considers changing the format of the payload to address processing and/or memory efficiency for the aggregation. The evaluation and the format change takes place dynamically so that the aggregation may continue.
