I don’t think it’s necessarily the use case changed but maybe the constraints. Streaming directly to Clickhouse is a great solution. Recent approaches I’ve seen though buffer data as parquet in object storage first, and read data from there

I wonder how this would work in trying to parallelize the worker threads (multiple duckdb instances) coordinating them via Quack. Ducks all the way down!

After years of using orchestration tools like airflow and dagster so many lightbulbs have just lit up in my head. I wish documentation for tools would explain their abstractions concepts in terms of its primitives. Great post, thanks!

DuckDB has indexes. One specifically for highly selective point lookups. The structure is called an adaptive radix tree. The workloads you’re describing are sort of duckdb’s bread and butter (even the parquet stuff it’ll handle out of the b

Re-reading your comment :) Yes, my demo has just a simple loop when loading the embeddings. I was replying more towards the latency you mentioned. Because duckdb runs on device, you save yourself the additional round trip network time when

“Hover” seems to be causing some confusion. It’s more of a “shallow” press. Like the opposite of “pressing into” when 3D Touch was a thing

Similar is the save icon, though for a different reason. It conveys its function well, but one first needs to know what a floppy disk even is!
