Re: Streaming-SQL Database PipelineDB (Based on PostgreSQL 9.4) - Available in Beta

• how are data stored? btree, lsm etc?
  
  
• indexes on the views
  ex doing a view of counting daily views for each url I may need to query by day or by url (table scans?)
  
  
• distribution / sharding?
  how will stuff be consistent if the view's data and the event-row are in different servers ?
  
  
• what is the consistency? examples:
  do you write to disk on every insert? or do you disk-bulk-commit different queries ?
  Flipping a bit(and saving this change to disk) for each view-batch maybe will be slow ?
  Wouldn't it be better to pass over the data and compute all views in 1 pass and then group-commit all the view-changes?
  
  
• acunu used to do the same thing like you and got acquired by apple (but they also kept the events)
  maybe a way to keep the events intro different types of storage (like s3, local-disk, hdfs etc)
  
  
• provide a downloadable db without registering and post to hn (people have often seen your job-ads there)
  
  
• what's the pricing-type ? free with paid support or ....
  

Good luck
