I don't know much about the LoC use case, but my initial reaction to the post is to ask why they are not building a data lake with open formats. I'm sure there are reasons for discarding open-table formats. Claude keeps telling me

Thanks for catching the point on AI-native access. Previously, operating a Qbeast-backed lakehouse required terminal commands; we've now added MCP connectivity to enable agentic coding tools, see the linked post for details and screens

At this point, I don't have it clear that this is going to be accepted and adopted. If it is, then it isn't clear what the economic impact will be. Companies still need the job done to be competitive, and clearly no one will be ha

Thanks for your comments, and I'm sorry that you feel that the post does not match your expectation. If you write me directly, I'll be more than happy to clarify any question you may have. I'm not sure, for example, what is c

Got it, yeah, quorum systems have higher tolerance to tail latency, there is no question about it. we do mention it briefly in the post, but we don't have numbers to show. I'm not aware of it being a major concern for kafka deploy
