The End of an Architectural Era (It's Time for a Complete Rewrite)

Summary: End of an Architectural Era argues one-size-fits-all RDBMS are obsolete; specialization will dominate data warehousing, streaming, text, and scientific DBs, including OLTP. H-Store, an OLTP prototype, outperforms a popular RDBMS on TPC-C, urging a clean-sheet, specialized engine stack. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
