Interesting.
Nevertheless, just by browsing the documentation, it seems they only support very basic SQL. For example, joins are not supported.
To me, "SQL support" basically entails taking advantage of the relational model. In here, "SQL Support" means "you can use something that looks like a SQL-like syntax to insert and fetch records from a table". Those are two very different things.
I do understand why they did that though. Automatic sharding of a single table in a cluster is much simpler problem than auto-scaling cross cluster joins.
I'll still download and take a look at the project since conceptually it is interesting.
- xhrpost 13y agoNot looking to down the work here but it sounds like in using this then, you're basically lowering DB admin complexity at the cost of increasing programming complexity. Does that sound right? I'm kind of torn as to when I would want to go that route. Perhaps on very simple data sets with limited relationships.
