Feed: Blog – OrientDB. Author: Luca Garulli. If you’re familiar with “the three Vs” of data (volume, variety, and velocity) then you’re also probably aware that all three Vs are increasing exponentially.  There’s more data out there than ever before. There are more types of data out there than ever before. And data is moving at faster speeds than ever before.And we shouldn’t forget the fourth V: value.  Indeed, data is also more valuable than ever before. Last year, The Economist called it the new oil.  With data being so valuable, you need a database capable of handling the massive ... Read More

Feed: Striving for Optimal Performance. In the last days, I am running a number of tests based on the TPC-DS benchmark against Oracle’s Autonomous Data Warehouse Cloud service (ADWC). One of the first thing I did is of course to create the TPC-DS schema and populate it. The aim of this blog post is to share some observations related to the population step. I started by generating the data with the tool provided by TPC-DS: dsdgen. With the following command, I generated 1TB of data: $ dsdgen -scale 1000 -dir /data/tpcdsdata The tool generated, in about 24 hours, the following ... Read More
