ClickHouse VS redpanda

Yes, we are working on it! :) Taking some of the learnings from current experimental JSON Object datatype, we are now working on what will become the production-ready implementation. Details here: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/54864

Variant datatype is already available as experimental in 24.1, Dynamic datatype is WIP (PR almost ready), and JSON datatype is next up. Check out the latest comment on that issue with how the Dynamic datatype will work: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/54864#issuec...

In our repository, I've set up a few hard limits: each translation unit cannot spend more than a certain amount of memory for compilation and a certain amount of CPU time, and the compiled binary has to be not larger than a certain size.

When these limits are reached, the CI stops working, and we have to remove the bloat: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/61121

Although these limits are too generous as of today: for example, the maximum CPU time to compile a translation unit is set to 1000 seconds, and the memory limit is 5 GB, which is ridiculously high.

I have a project dedicated to this topic: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench

It is important to explain the limitations of a benchmark, provide a methodology, and make it reproducible. It also has to be simple enough, otherwise it will not be realistic to include a large number of participants.

I'm also collecting all database benchmarks I could find: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/22398

ClickHouse: A fast open-source column-oriented database management system. ClickHouse is designed for real-time analytics on large datasets and excels in high-speed data insertion and querying, making it ideal for real-time monitoring and reporting.

Today we're going to create an UDF (User-defined Function) in Golang that can be run inside Clickhouse query, this function will parse uuid v1 and return timestamp of it since Clickhouse doesn't have this function for now. Inspired from the python version with TabSeparated delimiter (since it's easiest to parse), UDF in Clickhouse will read line by line (each row is each line, and each text separated with tab is each column/cell value):

For the third, examples here might be analytics plugins in specialized databases like Clickhouse, data-transformations in places like your ETL pipeline using Airflow or Fivetran, or special integrations in your authentication workflow with Auth0 hooks and rules.

Online analytical processing (OLAP) databases like Apache Druid, Apache Pinot, and ClickHouse shine in addressing user-initiated analytical queries. You might write a query to analyze historical data to find the most-clicked products over the past month efficiently using OLAP databases. When contrasting with streaming databases, they may not be optimized for incremental computation, leading to challenges in maintaining the freshness of results. The query in the streaming database focuses on recent data, making it suitable for continuous monitoring. Using streaming databases, you can run queries like finding the top 10 sold products where the “top 10 product list” might change in real-time.

Proton is a lightweight streaming processing "add-on" for ClickHouse, and we are making these delta parts as standalone as possible. Meanwhile contributing back to the ClickHouse community can also help a lot.

But I continue to find garbage in some of our CI scripts.

Here is an example: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/58794/files

The right way is to:

- always pin versions of all packages;

Stream-processing platforms such as Apache Kafka, Apache Pulsar, or Redpanda are specifically engineered to foster event-driven communication in a distributed system and they can be a great choice for developing loosely coupled applications. Stream processing platforms analyze data in motion, offering near-zero latency advantages. For example, consider an alert system for monitoring factory equipment. If a machine's temperature exceeds a certain threshold, a streaming platform can instantly trigger an alert and engineers do timely maintenance.

Yeah it’s just the stack switching itself that is a handful of cycles, but there is not much more overhead for the full VM switch if you structure your embedding the right way. Code the code is source available if you want to peek at it!

that's a littlebit of a stretch. when you say "no shortage" - outside of redpanda what product exists that actually compete in all deployment modes?

it's a misconception that redpanda is simply a better kafka. the way to think about it is that is a new storage engine, from scratch, that speaks the kafka protocol. similar to all of the pgsql companies in a different space, i.e.: big table pgsql support is not a better postgres, fundamentally different tech. you can read the src and design here: https://github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda. or an electric car is not the same as a combustion engine, but only similar in that they are cars that take you from point a to point b.

Redpanda with the MongoDB Debezium Connector installed. We use Redpanda as a Kafka broker.

And Kafka + Kafka Connect has https://www.confluent.io/ https://aiven.io/ https://upstash.com/ (and not quite Kafka, but protocol-compatible, https://redpanda.com/)

There exists a C++ project which was created after Rust the language was available. github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda/

I suggest you check out io_uring and thread per core architecture. Applications like scylladb and redpanda have thread per core architecture and use io_uring for async io.
