Wouldn't a much bigger deal be distributed part of the Oracle database in the cloud, not ML? Because turning a feature rich RDBMS into a decent distributed database is not really possible. You either have to sacrifice consistency, which by the looks of it is what Oracle is thinking to do [1], or you have to sacrifice both performance and availability. And there are already cheap not CAP consistent RDBMSs as services in the cloud. It's just hard to imagine how Oracle can leverage 90s era technology in a distributed world.

- tkyjonathan 9y agoI f the reason they want to distribute was performance then as a DB performance engineer, I can tell you first hand that tuning a database, indexing and caching can keep 99.9% of the internet companies very happy. I know its hard to imagine, but it is true and most devops teams look to a shiny new tech they saw at a meet up than (like you said) fix 90s era technologies.
