  • Not expert, but as enthusiast I have read some about this (for https://tablam.org).

    KV is truly ill-suited for this.

    Is very easy to see if you put the data layout:

    --data

  • InfluxDB

    Redwood isn't "completed", but it's not unavailable. Evaluating it via `fdbcli> configure ssd-redwood-1-experimental ` is encouraged, but it hasn't seen sufficiently deep evaluation and verification that it's been set as the default ssd storage engine yet.

    Not all releases got blog posts. Which ones did honestly had far more to do with the people involved in the releases at the time than any technical merits. This is the first feedback that I've seen where the blog posts were used as a signal of worthiness or stability, so we'll see if we can try to be a bit more responsible about making release posts.

    Releases that are posted to the downloads page are all equally considered "ready to go". They appear a bit slower than what gets tagged on github, as the production environments in the core set of companies supporting FDB development are used as the last stage of QA before an official release. (Though this distinction might be less clear as the downloads page was recently redirected to the github release artifacts page.)

    You can find the 7.0 release notes at https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/blob/main/documentatio..., which will appear in the documentation once the public site is updated to 7.0 (which happens once the first official, public release is blessed).

    All that said, the regular release cadence so far has been about every 6 months, which I think still does qualify as "glacial".

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
