DuckDB – in-process SQL OLAP database management system
Quite a while ago, when duckdb was just a duckling, I wrote an R package that supported direct manipulation of R dataframes using SQL.[1] duckdb was the engine for this.
The approach was never as fast as data.table but did approach the speed of dplyr for more complex queries.
Life had other things in store for me and I haven’t touched this library for a while now.
At the time there was no Julia connector for duckdb, but now that there is, I’d like to try this approach in that language.

ClickHouse as an alternative to Elasticsearch for log storage and analysis
Yeah, I agree sqldf is quite slow. Fair point.
As you've seen, duckdb registers an "R data frame as a virtual table." I'm not sure what they mean by "yet" either.
Of course it is possible to write an R dataframe to an on-disk duckdb table, if that's what you want to do.
There are some simple benchmarks on the bottom of the duckdf README[1]. Essentially I found for basic SQL SELECT queries, dplyr is quicker, but for much more complex queries, the duckdf/duckdb combination performs better.
If you really want speed of course, just use data.table.

Julia 1.6: what has changed since Julia 1.0?
That's a really good point that I'd not really thought about. I'd never really considered the difference between calling just functions versus macros.
Thinking about Query.jl and DataFramesMeta.jl, and I am for sure not an expert in either, I can't specifically speak to your `head` example, but other base functions can be combined with macros. For example, see the LINQ examples from DataFramesMeta.jl[1] where `mean` is being used. Or again the LINQ style examples in Query.jl[2], where `descending` is used in the first example, or `length` later in the Grouping examples.
Is that the kind of thing you meant?
For whatever reason, with the way my brain is wired, the LINQ style of query just works for me. I have never directly used LINQ, but do have some SQL experience. In fact, I wrote some dinky little wrapper functions[3] around duckdb[4] so I could directly query R dataframes and datatables with SQL using that backend, rather than sqldf[5].

We Built a 19 PiB Logging Platform with ClickHouse and Saved Millions
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...

Build time is a collective responsibility
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.

Fair Benchmarking Considered Difficult (2018) [pdf]
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

Writing UDF for Clickhouse using Golang
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):

Choosing Between a Streaming Database and a Stream Processing Framework in Python
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, a fast and lightweight alternative to Apache Flink
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.
Please check this PR from the proton team: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/54870
