Apache Cloudberry vs Apache TsFile: at a glance
What is Apache Cloudberry?
Apache Cloudberry is three release candidates into 2.2.0.
Apache Cloudberry is an open-source MPP analytics database in the Apache Incubator, derived from Greenplum. The 2.2.0 release has gone through rc1 (September 3), rc2 (October 7) and rc3 (October 20), with no release notes attached to the later candidates. 2.1.0 shipped in May after two candidates.
What is Apache TsFile?
TsFile 2.5 adds Go to its Java, C++ and Python implementations.
Apache TsFile is the columnar time-series file format underneath IoTDB. The 2.x line has concentrated on the native and Python ends: Arrow-compatible results into Python DataFrames in 2.3.0, CSV, Parquet and Arrow conversion scripts in 2.3.1, SIMD and parallel reads in 2.4.0, and in October 2.5.0 with table-model read and write APIs for Go plus persistent dataset indexes. The old 1.1 line still gets occasional backport releases, most recently 1.1.4 in September.
Apache Cloudberry vs Apache TsFile: editorial side-by-side
Apache Cloudberry
5.0ANALYTICS
Apache Cloudberry is three release candidates into 2.2.0.
◆ Current state
Apache Cloudberry is an open-source MPP analytics database in the Apache Incubator, derived from Greenplum. The 2.2.0 release has gone through rc1 (September 3), rc2 (October 7) and rc3 (October 20), with no release notes attached to the later candidates. 2.1.0 shipped in May after two candidates.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release goes through two or three candidates and ASF votes; 2.0.0 also needed three. The gap between feature releases has been roughly six to eight months.
◆ Prediction
2.2.0 final is likely after the rc3 vote, if no further candidate is needed. The entries do not list 2.2.0's feature content.
Apache TsFile
2.5ANALYTICS
TsFile 2.5 adds Go to its Java, C++ and Python implementations.
◆ Current state
Apache TsFile is the columnar time-series file format underneath IoTDB. The 2.x line has concentrated on the native and Python ends: Arrow-compatible results into Python DataFrames in 2.3.0, CSV, Parquet and Arrow conversion scripts in 2.3.1, SIMD and parallel reads in 2.4.0, and in October 2.5.0 with table-model read and write APIs for Go plus persistent dataset indexes. The old 1.1 line still gets occasional backport releases, most recently 1.1.4 in September.
◆ Where it's heading
TsFile is being shaped into an interchange format that non-JVM tools can read and write directly, with each release widening language coverage or speeding up the native path. The 1.1 backports show IoTDB users on older versions are still being supported.
◆ Prediction
Expect a 2.5.x patch release fixing the new Go and index features, following the pattern of 2.3.1 after 2.3.0.
