> Since an immutable table (i.e. declared with IMMUTABLE_ROWS=true) will never update a column value, it'd be more efficient to store all column values for a row in a single KeyValue. We could use the existing format we have for variable length arrays.
> For backward compatibility, we'd need to support the current mechanism. Also, you'd no longer be allowed to transition an existing table to/from being immutable. I think the best approach would be to introduce a new IMMUTABLE keyword and use it like this:
> {code}
> CREATE IMMUTABLE TABLE ...
> {code}
