Druid vs Vertica
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
|
||
How does Druid compare to Vertica?
|
||
|
||
Vertica is similar to ParAccel/Redshift ([Druid-vs-Redshift](../comparisons/druid-vs-redshift.html)) described above in that it wasn’t built for real-time streaming data ingestion and it supports full SQL.
|
||
|
||
The other big difference is that instead of employing indexing, Vertica tries to optimize processing by leveraging run-length encoding (RLE) and other compression techniques along with a "projection" system that creates materialized copies of the data in a different sort order (to maximize the effectiveness of RLE).
|
||
|
||
We are unclear about how Vertica handles data distribution and replication, so we cannot speak to if/how Druid is different.
