Another Timescale engineer here. As previously pointed out, zheap should work as a drop-in in TimescaleDB. In fact, I just tried it and it works. However, it currently requires an …

It would be great if you could share with us how this feature has been working out for you and how we can improve it in the future.

We talk about sharding vs. chunking in the blog post and I would put CitusDB in the former category. More specifically, TimescaleDB is focusing on time-series workloads. To handle …

It basically boils down to deleting a bunch of files on disk. The fact that it is distributed doesn't affect efficiency too much; it is basically a delete sent to all nodes, follow…

Timescale engineer here. Just want to point out that you can also attach additional disks using tablespaces, which are fully supported on hypertables. With a few simple commands, t…

Timescaler here. We're not blaming "PG devs". We have great respect for the PostgreSQL developers and what they are doing; so much, in fact, that we chose to base our product on Po…

That point about irregularly spaced data (sparse) is a very insightful observation. I’d just add that a user can to some extent address that by normalization, i.e., splitting incom…

Sounds like you’re main concern is high availability (HA) and scaling, things Cassandra certainly does well. But if you are also interested in data exploration and complex queries,…
