On balance, it will probably be better for you in the long run. I am a high school and college dropout, and nearly as old as dirt. I am entirely self-taught with computers, with no…

I am having trouble locating any reports to reproducible benchmarks that back up their performance claims.

Cool. The wire protocol is PostgreSQL's, so they provide the clients (BSD).

This you? http://favstar.fm/users/hipsterhacker Also, the main application is in C++. A python script launches the C++ daemons. Perl scripts are quick and dirty tests and deploymen…

Thank you, Phil. I'm conflicted about this--I was convinced recently to move away from AGPL having to do with what I was previously unaware of as seemingly legitimate acceptance is…

Good thinking, but I think that shifts the issue--namely, that each inter-thread message uses atomic compare and swap to create the message. I assume there'd be a similar bottlenec…

For durability, check out http://www.infinisql.org/docs/overview/#idp37053600 I've thought about having an actor library, or minimally, to have the actor basis of InfiniSQL indepen…

Congratulations! Do you have benchmark reports?

I think you mean 2PL. It does really scale, check out the benchmark report on the blog. http://www.infinisql.org/blog/2013/1112/benchmarking-infinis... For deadlock-prone workloads…

1) persistence: battery-backed UPS and synchronous replication. No WAL anywhere. I'm thinking about ways to do disk-based storage without synchronous IO, to provide decent performa…

Thanks, edited.

Vertica's a data warehouse. InfiniSQL is geared for OLTP. --------- Thanks, jacob019. Please fork/follow on github, twitter if you're into that, etc.

On backlog to fix. But InfiniSQL is for hackers and early adopters at this stage. The SQL support is documented ( http://www.infinisql.org/docs/index/ )

I assume these shops have Linux in their environments, including the GNU toolchain. There must be some contradiction somewhere that I'm not aware of. Based on FSF feedback, I'm goi…

A few things (I'm the author of InfiniSQL) 1) I include keystore-like stored procedures in the source. They do get/set with integer key and string val. I haven't done thorough benc…

Those are analytics databases, also known as data warehouses. Optimized for batch reporting. InfiniSQL is geared for operational/transactional (OLTP) kinds of workloads.

Here is some back of napkin analysis: Starting with this benchmark report: http://www.percona.com/files/white-papers/clustrix-tpcc-mysq... Basically, InfiniSQL does not currently s…

Well, array=battery backed controller with a bunch of disks hanging off of it. Actually, there is latency associated with every sync. What I've seen on HDS arrays with Linux boxes …

Hi, eksmith. I talk a bit about plans for durability in that overview document. I promise that I have every intention of making InfiniSQL a platform that does not lose data. I have…

I totally agree--the architecture I'm calling for is to have redundant UPS's, each managed by InfiniSQL processes--for ultimate availability. If people just want high performance b…

Hi, Leif. It's not hard to get to the throughput limits of a single log device, even on a fast array. I've done it on Sybase, WebSphere MQ, Oracle, MySQL, basically on enough platf…

Thanks!

Oh, the infinisql_*.h is because I deploy all header files as part of "make install", when what I really should do is boil it down to just the api header. The api is for stored pro…

Your advice that I create formal academic-style paper is reasonable, and I agree that it should be something that I pursue. Will you follow me somehow (by links at http://www.infin…

Hi, amalag. Yes, Clustrix is very similar to InfiniSQL (not to mention having been around longer). I believe that InfiniSQL has vastly higher performance at least for the type of w…
