“I set the reference architecture. But, in order for the technology to work, the client has to be able to use the tools I provide them to improve the system further. SingleStore is an important part of that set of tools.”
“SingleStore supports both row and columnar storage, defined at table creation time. Perhaps most importantly, it allows unions and joins across row-based and columnar tables. I cannot stress enough how important this feature is to us, as it fundamentally changed how we served data by giving us the best of both worlds: the fast writes of a row-store and the fast aggregate reads of a column-store.”
