> Pretty much the columnar/mpp stuff is good for simple aggregates for ad-hoc non-real-time queries
How is a column-oriented database which is primarily designed for fast performance across large data not good for real-time queries? Memsql, clickhouse, vertica, druid, etc are all fast systems that can scan terabytes in milliseconds with complex queries.
It's great that timescale provides new options and works with postgres but let's keep things accurate in a field that has plenty of confusion already.
