    Mason Sharp Scale-out PostgreSQL with Postgres-XL at PGConf US 2015 [PgConf.US]

    presented by Mason Sharp

    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-...

    Mason Sharp Geographically Distributed PostgreSQL at PGConf NYC 2014 [PgConf.US]

    presented by Mason Sharp

    Many organizations have multiple locations and multiple data centers to go along with them, presenting data management challenges. Sometimes it is sufficient to have database masters and readable slaves, other times a multimaster configuration is required. In this talk, we discuss various considerations and use cases for distributed databases and what tools are available in the PostgreSQL commu...

    Mason Sharp Distributed Foreign Data Wrappers at PostgresConf US 2018
    Processing external data in parallel with Postgres-XL

    presented by Mason Sharp

    Postgres-XL can be used as a PostgreSQL-based shared-nothing database cluster. In this talk, we discuss extending the Foreign Data Wrapper capability to process external data in parallel using Postgres-XL. Foreign Data Wrappers and extensions used as examples include cstore_fdw (columnar compressed storage), file_fdw (CSVs), timescaledb, and a new dist_fs_fdw that allows use of Alluxio, HDFS an...
