What's next after optimizing for Snowflake costs?

I just read up on that issue. We will follow up with updated measurements with CRDB 2.0. The big reason for the discrepancies you measured is likely the fact that each sqlbench wri…

Performance is a very tricky thing to measure in a database. CockroachDB's performance is certainly affected by its consistency model. In particular, CockroachDB handles transactio…

I think the algorithm is whoever comes up with the most egregious and sticky name wins.

Pete chose the name GIMP (we were mulling calling it "XIMP", for X11 Image Manipulation Program, but Pulp Fiction had recently been released, so...). I (spencer) chose the name Coc…

(Post author here) I'm not incredibly familiar with the ins and outs of MongoDB Inc's business model, but I agree with your assessment. They certainly seem to have embraced both of…

I'm not really sure which strategy would benchmark best between 64K chunks, 1M chunks, or even 8M chunks. I think this requires some experimentation. Pushing them all through as 64…

(employee/founder here) Anything under 64K is perfectly reasonable to store in a CockroachDB column. Between 64K and maybe 1M is trending towards trouble. Values greater than this …

Cockroach enforces this guarantee on a per-key basis as opposed to for the entire node. If a key has been read at time t, it may only be subsequently written at time > t. Cockroach…

CockroachDB's time api is based on the Hybrid Logical Clocks paper. We credit it on our design doc ( https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/blob/master/docs/de... ) and in the so…

These are conservative upper bounds and are meant to encompass long tail offsets. You can usually get NTP down to < 10ms offsets, but if you rely on that, you'll likely run into pr…
