Feed: MemSQL Blog. Author: Rick Negrin. There is a trend in industry which says that modern applications need to be built on top of one or more special-purpose databases.

You can now take full advantage of it when building much larger clusters: NDB 8.0 can use 16 TB data memory per data node for in-memory tables. 3-replica 5 PB clusters can be build with disk data. The new partial checkpoint algorithm executes restarts up to 4x faster, reduces checkpoint times by a factor of 6x in typical set-ups and minimizes cluster’s disk space consumption. In addition the new checkpoints ... Read More
