imo, the concept of “extremely ephemeral query workers” is under-explored
stateless, maintenance-free, burstable fleets of query workers is what I would like to see more of in the future.
it’s how we do it, and it gives us full-text search on multi-hundred terabyte data sets in S3, where queries finish in a handful of seconds. our approach: https://docs.scanner.dev/scanner/what-and-why/how-it-works/how-scanner-achieves-fast-queries https://docs.scanner.dev/scanner/what-and-why/how-it-works/h...
anyone else doing ephemeral query workers fleets?
- ramraj07 10mo agoYes.. its called snowflake? Theyre exactly that and why they work so well. I know youre asking for an OSS but what snowflake offers is a fleet of servers that can build your cluster in a second as opposed to minutes that you need if you want to spin it up yourself..
