and it is a easily trollable target as well. Had he tried to to attack durability on probably any other database, it probably would not have worked as well as it did.
Whether its a troll attempt or not, remains to be seen, but I completely agree with this specific, albeit very generic, part of the text.
> Databases must be right, or as-right-as-possible, b/c database mistakes are so much more severe than almost every other variation of mistake. Not only does it have the largest impact on uptime, performance, expense, and value (the inherit value of the data), but data has inertia. Migrating TBs of data on-the-fly is a massive undertaking compared to changing drcses or fixing the average logic error in your code. Recovering TBs of data while down, limited by what spindles can do for you, is a helpless feeling.
