I'm sure the DBSight feature is great, but we already have a system in place and we're not throwing it away -- it's closely integrated with our whole platform. We're way past the point to switch our solution to DBSight. We'd be more than happy to use the DBSight feature if it would be opensource but unfortunately it's not - so we won't even consider it.
Chris: are you a developer at DBSight? Can you tell us more about how it works? Because I don't really see how it can be "fast" when dealing with millions of records... as it has to loop through them, compute, store everything (in a temp index? memory?) and then re-sort. - Mike aka...@gmail.com On Thu, Apr 1, 2010 at 5:02 PM, Chris Lu <chris...@gmail.com> wrote: > For DBSight, the aggregated values are computed during run time. > And the sorting on the computed aggregated values are done when displaying > the results. > > The idea is, after the aggregation, the number of aggregated values are > much much smaller. > > > -- > Chris Lu > ------------------------- > Instant Scalable Full-Text Search On Any Database/Application > site: http://www.dbsight.net > demo: http://search.dbsight.com > Lucene Database Search in 3 minutes: > http://wiki.dbsight.com/index.php?title=Create_Lucene_Database_Search_in_3_minutes > DBSight customer, a shopping comparison site, (anonymous per request) got > 2.6 Million Euro funding! > > > prasenjit mukherjee wrote: > >> On Fri, Apr 2, 2010 at 12:54 AM, Chris Lu <chris...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> >>> No need for Hadoop.
