Abstract
The subject technology receives, by an execution node, blob metadata from a key-value store, the blob metadata including information related to a set of blob files. The subject technology determines, by the execution node using the blob metadata, whether a copy of each of the set of blob files is stored in a local cache of the execution node. The subject technology transforms at least one blob file, retrieved from a blob store, to a second file in a column file format, the at least one blob file being in a first format that is different than the column file format, the transforming comprising at least converting a particular snapshot file from the at least one blob file to a particular set of rowsets and writing the set of rowsets into the second file in the column file format. The subject technology stores the second file in the local cache.
