I thought this was going to be about people misinterpreting the CAP theorem:

not sure what to do with this answer dba.stackexchange.com/a/105934/39384

it's just a copy paste (including diagram) from here blog.engineyard.com/2013/…

flag? downvote? comment?

I checked the rest of his posts and they seem legit though

@TomV I think you should flag it. (posting it here may be enough but just in case our mods as celebrating ;)

And comment. They should have at least posted an attribution link.

and so the post got deleted

not really sure if the poster saw the comment and knows why his post got deleted though

I think the reply could have been saved/was ok content-wise

intent-wise i mean

@TomV I left a comment along the lies of: "I think you need to do a lot more work to (a) adapt/summarize the source material to fit this format, and (b) make it more clear where you are quoting and attributing your source (eg use the blockquote syntax)"

if it gets fixed, we can easily undelete

although not everyone can see deleted posts and the comments on them, the OP can

apart from all that partitioning is going to be completely useless for the OP

it does sound like he is going to need some kind of pre-aggregation

possibly an MV, possibly some kind of strategy along the lines he's suggesting

fair enough, i wasn't aware the op would still see the remarks

@TomV The op meaning the guy who answered. Not the op of the question.

@JackDouglas Just noticed something: if you check the very 1st revision, he did have the link added but he made a mistake (using [3] twice instead of [2]) so it wasn't visible unless while editing.
