[Talk] QuasarDB: Internals, What Makes a Database Fast? by Eduard Alligand
This talk is the 6th guest lecture on Time Series databases at Carnegie Mellon University hosted by CMU Database Group.
Recording of the talk on Youtube
The talk started describing the notion of the different kinds of benchmarks. The speaker describes that if you have a benchmark which just suits your system, it will show that your system is better than other. He gave an example of a benchmark which shows read/write speeds of QuasarDB and a NoSQL database. NoSQL seems to be very fast on writing (2.1 GB/s) compared to QuasarDB (884MB/s) however actually the NoSQL database is not writing to the disk but writing to the memory. So, it is easy to show your solution is superior to others by showing such benchmarks.
