Mariadb has a columnar engine already (though I did not use it myself) https://mariadb.com/docs/analytics/mariadb-columnstore/columnstore-quickstart-guides/mariadb-columnstore-guide https://mariadb.com/docs/analytics/mariadb-columnstore/colum... and is mostly mysql compatible.
For about a year releases include a vector storage type, so it will be interesting to see it compared in performance with what Alibaba did.
Just wanted to plug that out. Given how often Postgres is plugged on HN, I think people ignore how versatile mariadb is.
- davidkwast 9mo agoThis ColumnStore is very simple and just do table scans sequentially on every query. It doesn't support indexes and unique constraints. It is almost an append-only serialization file format, but with some columnar concepts.
