Open source Postgres-XL allows users to scale-out PostgreSQL for both OLTP and OLAP workloads, all while maintaining cluster-wide consistency across multiple nodes.
This session will discuss the capabilities of Postgres-XL and how, by bringing massively parallel processing (MPP) to the community, PostgreSQL becomes a strong candidate for Big Data analytics. In addition, we discuss how Postgres-XL implements cluster-wide ACID and Multi-version Concurrency Control (MVCC) support.
There will also be a demo of how to install a small local cluster on your laptop for testing.
