It is nice to see more on "build your own database" topics.

Although people constantly bug me on attempts to build their own ClickHouse. Someone is trying to do it with Apache Arrow and DataFusion. Folks from DuckDB are trying to build their own crippled version of ClickHouse. Friends from China doing it with their Apache Doris. InfluxDB is being rewritten to be closer to ClickHouse in an attempt to make it better and so on...



Incase you're unaware, InfluxDB IOx (the rewrite) is built on Apache Arrow and Datafusion, and is the primary driver behind the project.

I also think calling DuckDB a crippled version of Clickhouse disingenuous. That's like calling SQLite a cripped version of postgres. They have very different goals.

That's also a bit like calling Clickhouse a build-your-own vectorwise/MonetDB because they did it first.
