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

Summary: H-Store demonstrates nearly two-orders-of-magnitude OLTP speedups over a commercial RDBMS on TPC-C via a specialized, from-scratch architecture. The results challenge general-purpose RDBMSs and argue for retiring legacy code lines in favor of workload-specific engines. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
