@PedroERPedreira, Orri, and I will present a composable data management tutorial focusing on the execution layer at VLDB 2024. We will use Velox to explain the core concepts and cover DataFusion, Photon.

Columnar file formats like Parquet/ORC are ubiquitous. Our VLDB paper with @XinyuZeng218 + @huanchenzhang + @wesmckinn studies their internals.
TLDR: They're not optimized for modern hardware. Something new is needed.

This is the future of databases. It is too expensive / time-consuming to build a DBMS from scratch.
🡲 If you want a new OLAP DBMS, start with Velox / Arrow+@VoltronData / Clickhouse / @duckdb.
🡲 If you want a new OLTP DBMS, start with @PostgreSQL / @RocksDB / @WiredTigerInc.
Today's Vaccination Database Speaker: Dr. Deepak Majeti (@majetideepak) from @AhanaIO will present the Velox execution engine for @PrestoDB. Zoom talk is open to public at 4:30pm ET. YouTube video will be available afterwards: https://t.co/REWhVqX4tT
Just read @vardi 's thought provoking thoughts "The Sand-Heap Paradox of Privacy and Influence" in the recent CACM.

The irony of the last sentence "Follow me on ..." and my own post on Twitter is duly noted.
Just finished watching @SocialDilemma_ documentary on Netflix on social media and what it is doing to us. Some thoughts:
1. Loved this quote by @tristanharris that went something like "How can you wake up from the matrix, when you don't even know you're in it?"
"THE GENE: An Intimate History" and "The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer" piqued my curiosity in genetic research. Thanks, @DrSidMukherjee for the great read.
