BDR or PgLogical or Native Partitioning or Federation/Sharding.
The parallelism is AWESOME!
It is also something that I think a lot of users do not consider a major
feature as much as a major, "it is about time" (although partitioning
probably falls in that too).
That is not to take away from Robert's work which is AWESOME.
Yes I can say AWESOME a lot.
It is just that the feature, is essentially, "We are faster, yet again".
Sincerely,
