Congrats on the benchmarks.
A couple of questions:
How has RethinkDB been affected by the recent changes to SSDs that have an improved firmware for garbage collection?
Unrelatedly, does RethinkDB use the same clustering strategies as MySQL?
- bkudria 17y agoActually RethinkDB plugs into MySQL, so you can keep using that, including any clustering and tooling. RethinkDB is just a backend engine.
- leif 17y agoThe new garbage collecting firmware is probably only effective for consumer use, not enterprise, as these firmware chips (we think) need some downtime to operate properly. We haven't gotten our hands on them, but we don't think they'll solve the problems we're solving. We don't support clustered indexes. Clustered indexes are good on rotational drives because they allow you to read data as soon as you find an interesting node in the index tree. Because SSDs don't have slow random access, this is not necessary, so we don't do it.
