([Programming] 82 Minutes Ago QuestDB 8.0)


QuestDB 8.0 is out today as the newest feature update to this open-source time-series database. QuestDB continues to cater to high throughput ingestion and fast SQL queries so it can handle use-cases from financial data to IoT sensors. With today's QuestDB 8.0 release, it's even faster.

QuestDB 8.0 has around a 50% performance improvement on average over its already speedy SQL query performance. QuestDB 8.0 also adds data compression support for the (Open)ZFS file-system. This OpenZFS data compression integration was previously only available in their enterprise version while is now available in the open-source QuestDB for fully embracing OpenZFS support and system-level data compression.

QuestDB 8.0 also brings the VARCHAR data type support, the Jemalloc allocator is now used by default, and a variety of other performance enhancements.

The Modelski Chain Rule:
(1) Look intently at the problem for several minutes. Scratch your
head at 20-30 second intervals. Try solving the problem on your
Hewlett-Packard.
(2) Failing this, look around at the class. Select a particularly
bright-looking individual.
(3) Procure a large chain.
(4) Walk over to the selected student and threaten to beat him severely
with the chain unless he gives you the answer to the problem.
Generally, he will. It may also be a good idea to give him a sound
thrashing anyway, just to show you mean business.
