Erkules, I guess dave should exilpan in more detail, but I can answer at least a few of your questions.InfiniDB is essentially the MySQL server front-end (protocol, connections and probably query cache) patched so it includes InfiniDB column store, but also language constructs (functoins) and optimizer.Although it seems like a great idea to simply plugin a column-oriented storage engine, it just won’t work. The MySQL storage engine api is pretty much row-oriented, and I can’t see how the vanilla optimizer could realistically work with a column store. So you really need to throw in a query optimizer that understands column stores too. In addition, InfiniDB implements it’s own vertical partitioning, compression and I believe it also shreds and distributes queries – all these things are outside the responsibility of just the storage engine.Really, InfiniDB is a very thin layer of MySQL on top of an entire database system of its own.
