Earlier quoted context omitted.

Using it in production currently with dual-write and dual-read to compare perf. I'll do a write-up showing how Cockroach performs to Citus and Cassandra for my use case.

We use Citus and Memsql (big data analytics use cases). How does Cockroach handle joins and other OLAP style queries?

I'm using MemSQL's columnstore myself and the performance is nothing short of amazing. I migrated from Citus DB to it for OLAP workloads.

But for what reasons are you using Citus as well? Would like to know if I am missing something or hear another perspective.

Can you explain your use case? Thanks

I will never use this product no matter how good it is due to its name. Hope you can understand that many ppl like me suffer phobia from cockroaches. (PS: As expected ppl will downvote this, but just trying to give a very valuable feedback to ppl who don’t understand cockroach phobia.)

That's unfortunate, but I hope your post isn't suggesting they shouldn't have named their product as they did.

Should people who don't like large numbers not use Google? Should people who fear fire not use Firebase? Should people who don't like coffee not use Java? Moreover, should those people suggest the names be changed due to their phobia?

We could number all database servers. Server 1, Server 2, Server 3, Server 4... but 4 is unlucky in China, so we can't use that.

I'd love to hear from someone who has implemented this in production. Seems like really cool tech, but haven't had a chance to use it on a project yet.

Please do!

Granted, phobias are no fun and can be debilitating but seeing as the product has been around for 3 yrs, I don't think they have any plans on renaming it.

Quick question, and don't take it the wrong way as I am truly trying to understand the extend of your commitment of not using it, but what if you were to receive a once in a lifetime job offer and after you start the team decided to switch to this database, would you quit? Your not physically working with any cockroaches so does the phobia extend to even just hearing and/or saying the term? Thx

No not at all im just giving my feedback of why I couldn’t use a great product sadly due to my phobia suffering from its name that many ppl might face the same but don’t bother to give feedbacks.

(PS: Yes if your target customers are Chinese you should avoid using number 4 especially in real estate)

Are there people or cultures who have a fondness for cockroaches?

On behalf of everyone else who puts up with this constant repeated BS for every story about CockroachDB, we get it. Now shut up already and move on. I am one of the downvoters because at this point literally NO ONE cares about your complaint and this constant background whine contributes nothing. If you can't get over the name of a product then just keep it to yourself.

You have a pretty extreme phobia if just seeing the word used for naming the thing that you're afraid of, is a problem for you.
