- mro_name 4y agoYou're a bit hasty, young padawan. Do you insinuate this has never been tried while you don't even take a glimpse at it and see how it's done? What use is it linking the cdb docs? The article has it all in context if you bother reading. The dataset is turned to 16 cdbs to be precise in case you wonder how 37GB fit into the 4GB cdb size limit.
- mhuffman 4y agoThere is a more modern rewrite that does away with the 4 gigabyte limit of the original[1]. I am not sure if the performance characteristics are the same. [1]https://github.com/gstrauss/mcdb/ https://github.com/gstrauss/mcdb/
