I feel like GP is talking about GC at the database level, not the language level. IE something like RocksDB - written in C++ - still has a compaction phase.

- cmrdporcupine 4y agoI think they're actually talking about both at once. Cassandra definitely has compaction (similar LSM storage as RocksDB), and it causes pauses. It's been over 10 years since I touched Cassandra, but when I did there was often a royal dumpster fire when compaction & JVM GC ganged up to make a big mess.
