Premier Conference for Database Professionals
About Henrik Ingo
Henrik has a history of working with all the major open source databases: MySQL and MariaDB, MongoDB, Datastax (Cassandra) and most recently CrateDB. At Nyrkiö his mission is to mainstream easy to use tools and methods originally invented in the performance teams at MongoDB and Datastax. In addition to performance, Henrik is known for his expertise in high availability and distributed consensus.
Interesting database ideas you might want to pay attention to

Duration: 45 minutes
Raft-algorithm, sharding, Log-Structured Merge trees… We’ve come a long way the past 15 years in building more scalable, more write performant, more robust database technology. In this talk I want to highlight algorithms and ideas I’ve seen used, but that aren’t yet widely known and certainly not widely available.
In this talk, we will:
• Accord transactions in Cassandra: In which we continue the pursuit for strictly serializable distributed transactions.
• Consider what if it was possible to index all your data, every column: Any arbitrary query would be reasonably fast to execute. No need to start by planning your data access pattern and schema.
• Talk about what will databases look like in a Quantum Computer using Grover’s algorithm.
