Vertica & Column Stores
summary
History of building Vertica as a column store and how the team turned academic c-store/Vertica research into a production analytics engine that beats row databases on speed and storage. Raises about $15 million early, rejects open source but pursues open access and ships a Community Edition with downloads measured in the hundreds of thousands. Key engineering moves: implement columnar storage, push aggressive feature set, add Flex JSON access to present SQL and NoSQL flavors under one engine.
