Oh great, the term "big data" is back.

So my definition of big data was data so big it cannot be processed on a single machine in a reasonable amount of time. I guess they’re using a different definition?

I think they are simply referring to analytical workloads.

> For our first experiment, we used ClickBench, an analytical database benchmark. ClickBench has 43 queries that focus on aggregation and filtering operations. The operations run on a single wide table with 100M rows, which uses about 14 GB when serialized to Parquet and 75 GB when stored in CSV format.

very much so…
