Venue:          Room 1504 (near lifts 25/26), HKUST

Abstract:

The talk will describe the technical innovation on how to attain
ultra-scalable transactions and how this innovation has been leveraged to
build an ultra-scalable SQL database with both OLTP and OLAP capabilities
enabling real-time big data. The talk will also provide insights on how
query processing is parallelized to enable OLAP processing over
operational data. The talk will also cover how LeanXcale integrates other
kinds of data management such as NoSQL technologies such as MongoDB, graph
databases, key-value data stores, Hadoop data lakes and Complex Event
Processing. The talk will also provide an overview of the architecture of
LeanXcale.
