aster

If you only have a single aster*sk in your comment, it doesn't get converted to an emphasis.

Ebikes (limited to 20 mph) aren't usually the fastest bikes on the road -- road bikers cruise aster than 20mph.

Fox Interactive Media/MySpace has multi-hundred terabyte databases running on each of Greenplum and Aster Data nCluster.

Also MySpace uses Aster Data's stuff, which is all built on top of Postgres.

Redshift, vertica, netezza, and aster will not be be able to compete.

The Aster 30 missile was fired by the Horizon class frigate Forbin (D620), also present during the shoot was Forbins sister ship Chevalier Paul (D621).

Thanks, if you mouse-over the databases box, you'll see Redshift under Columnar - we do see a lot of Netezza and Aster as well.

I have an aster for that, too, and a quite definite one.

They appear to be building a columnar, distributed database while preserving the Postgres frontend (similar to redshift, aster, greenplum, etc.) It’s all in the details.

If you choose an implementation of MapReduce — like pure Hadoop (say in the Cloudera distribution) or Hadoop-Vertica or Aster Data’s SQL/MapReduce – you’re basically picking an entire technology stack.

I also liked Aster Data Systems and SkyDrive.

And I hate using/(being subjected to) aster*sks.

And the etymology of dis-aster is astrological: a negative event caused by an unfavourable planetary configuration, by "bad stars".

I feel like a troll even suggesting that this isn't an amazing accomplishment, but did anybody else do a double-take when they read: "For the Aster measurements, local elevation was mapped with each point just 30m apart.

There's no reason you can't use a relational database for "huge batch-processing jobs." You might not be able to use MySQL for such a task, but there are a large collection of DBs that are designed for large-data analytics: Greenplum, Aster Data, Teradata, Vertica, etc.

Netezza, Vertica, EMC/Greenplum, Teradata/Aster, et al are all PostgreSQL derivatives as well with varying degrees of divergence.

No real time MPP databases like Redshift, Netezza, Aster...otherwise good graph.

In contrast, Vertica, Greenplum, Netezza, Teradata Aster, and CitusDB are all based on PostgreSQL forks.
