side effect of faggot weekend was being told i have reinvented clickhouse SharedMergeTree from first principles. which i will choose to take as vindicating
i think this pushes the cost dynamics of full network indexing into a cool spot. i only have a ¼ backfill obvs but we're sub-20gb of indexes on the server, 500 gb in remote object storage (at home via garage rn), and we have query response times of around 900ms which is not awful but not great
