Overall Satisfaction with Vertica
It's used by couple of departments. I work in the entertainment industry, so it is used to deal with the rendering data. It is also used for big data analysis.
- After the initial setup and performance tuning phase, Vertica database cluster pretty much runs on its own. We haven't had too much maintenance to do.
- When we had to scale up the cluster from 6 nodes to 12 nodes, it was an easy task.
- At one time, because of some issues with a server, we had to take a node out and could do it on the fly.
- One time, one of the nodes wasn't coming up because of some ambiguity with the local data. Vertica wasn't able to fix it by itself and we were trying to remove the node out of the database and we couldn't do it. It would be great if that could be addressed. Luckily when we rebooted the whole server, some of the dead transaction got flushed because of which vertica was able to recover and the node came up.
- For the most part, I would say it's a positive impact as it helped the developers to build a better strategy for working with the rendering data.
