    1️⃣🐝🏎️ The One Billion Row Challenge -- A fun exploration of how quickly 1B rows from a text file can be aggregated with Java

    We have already created the file measurements.txt with 1 million lines using the semi-official tool create_measurements.py:

    For the second point (rewriting the PHP script for multithreading), you can take inspiration from the PHP documentation and solutions to the 1BRC challenge available on the Internet. The one I took heavily from is this one. The overhead from multithread management mostly comes from having to cycle the measurements.txt file first to split it into chunks that match the number of cores on the machine where the script is running. Each thread will process one of these chunks that, combined, will lead to the final result.
