The system is a general purpose data management system. It was originally designed as a file system replacement where you could store a few hundred million files in a single container; put meta-data tags on each of them; and then be able to find subsets of them (e.g. all photos with more than 10MB of data and with tag .person.FirstName = Robert) in just a second or two (even if the query produced a few million results). The objects I invented to store the meta-data tags turned out to be very performant Key-Value stores that could also be used for other purposes. It turns out they could also be used as columns in a relational database table. I think I was surprised as anyone when queries against my tables that use them turned out to be substantially faster than for other databases with highly indexed tables. I am sorry if the term 'prove me wrong' came across in a bad way. I guess I just got tired of people telling me my system couldn't possibly work and refuse to put forth any effort to try it out. In some ways I feel like a Tesla salesman surrounded by people who are sure it couldn't possible be better (or even different) than a regular car, but won't get in and take it for a spin around the block.
