Mr. Jay, every time I read one of your newsletters I'm reminded of the cinematic meeting between the actors playing the characters of Boston Red Sox owner John Henry and Oakland A's GM Billy Beane in the movie "Moneyball." John Henry's character describes how ANY legitimate large-scale improvement is resisted and fought-against by those whom the improvement most threatens. There is no good reason to resist the improvements offered by your company. With their resistance to the obvious benefits your company offers, more than a few leaders in business & government reveal more than they are aware about themselves.
Relational will likely never die, but it will (has?) fallend from dominance. Absolutely. Oracle 23ai has some very adaptive features (vector, column, relational, graph, yada) along these lines.
Time for me to admit ignorance -- how does fractal differ from map/reduce hadoop, 'co-locate the compute and data'? How are re-shardings and cross node latencies reduced or avoided? And where on Earth does one find their Careers page?
Genuine interest, not pushback. Am sold enough to want to know a lot more...
Our engineers will tell you that while Fractal is NOT Map Reduce, we share many of its core characteristics. If you have an application that is so large it requires Fractal, let us know and we can get into it in more detail.
