datafuse VS datafusion

v0.4.102-nightly

Datafuse is currently in Alpha and is not ready to be used in production, Roadmap 2021

v0.4.95-nightly

1. With the improvement of the rust ecosystem, using rust has made database development faster and easy, for example datafuse use the tokio to implement the pipeline https://github.com/datafuselabs/datafuse/tree/master/fuseque....

2. Couldn't agree with you more with easier-to-manage as a first-class feature, but some times easier-to-manage is built on stability, that's what datafuse is trying to do.

Datafuse – Modern Real-Time Data Processing in Rust\ (8 comments)

Datafuse even borrows code from datafusion, which makes the name choice seem intentionally confusing. https://github.com/datafuselabs/datafuse/issues/654

Datafuse - A Modern Real-Time Data Processing & Analytics DBMS with Cloud-Native Architecture, built to make the Data Cloud easy. Written in Rust.

Python's Substrait seems like the biggest/most-used competitor-ish out there. I'd love some compare & contrast; my sense is that Substrait has a smaller ambition, and more wants to be a language for talking about execution rather than a full on execution engine. https://github.com/substrait-io/substrait

We can also see from the DataFusion discussion that they too see themselves as a bit of a Velox competitor. https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/discussions/6441

Agree, substrait is a really cool project! Related: if you like substrait you might want to check out datafusion too. The project is a query execution engine built on top of Apache Arrow (with SQL parser, query planner & optimizer, execution engine, extensible user defined functions, among others) and it implements a substrait provider and consumer: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/tree/main/datafus...

The draft contains some preliminary benchmark results, comparing it to DuckDB.

Apache Arrow is a pretty common memory structure these days. Datafusion is an open query engine built in Rust started by Andy Grove.

DuckDB is a great piece of software if you are

If you are looking for a query engine implemented in a safe language (Rust) I definitely suggest checking out DataFusion. It is comparable to DuckDB in performance, has all the standard built in SQL functionality, and is extensible in pretty much all areas (query language, data formats, catalogs, user defined functions, etc)

Problem comes when you want to do this inside an async context since we couldn't block an async task. https://users.rust-lang.org/t/sync-function-invoking-async/43364/6 You might need to do it in another runtime/thread. It is not recommended to do this, but sometimes it is unavoidable while implementing a third-party trait. https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/3777 However, I believe this isn't a problem particular to tokio, or any specific runtime.
