RE: Proposal to Make HiveSQL Free Again

in HiveDevs • 4 years ago

You mentioned that you seen a lot of smaller users unable to use HiveSQL once it became a payed subscription. That makes me wonder a few things:

  1. How much growth did you account for with the service becoming free?
  2. Could more calls and larger user base affect the QoS for those whose apps rely on the service?
  3. If growth does start to hurt user experience, will you be seeking additional funding through the DHF or with priority subscriptions?

    These are all sensible questions.

    1. Honestly, as I am not a diviner and cannot answer this question. I hope that as many apps and services as possible will benefit from it.
    2. In the past, more apps than currently used this service, without its QoS being affected. I carry out regular monitoring, both in terms of overall performance and at queries level. In case queries that had a negative impact on perfs, I have on several occasions already assisted users to improve their queries.
    3. The current infrastructure (which has been upgraded very recently) is able to support a much greater load and the expected future volume of data. So I do not think additional funds will be required. Having said that, I hope the growth of the Hive ecosystem will contradict me ;)
