Thanks for the education on MemSQL. I wasn’t aware of the analytics use case (had never come up in discussions I was a part of for that tech), so it was news to me.

This article had a nice overview. Somewhat outdated but mostly still up to date. https://lnkd.in/g4anCf5

I’ll say it seems precarious to me to mix and match row store in memory data with a columnar store. Is it never a performance issue to have these two systems potentially in contention with one another for resources?

It's just data in memory. Rowstores are read from memory and columnstores are read from disk. The architecture uses leaf nodes and aggregator nodes so aggregrator memory is used for assembling the final results of a query.

Version 6 is even faster, you can try out the beta: http://www1.memsql.com/beta-6.3-features.html
