Thinking About Analytic Speed
There is, obviously, a huge industry emphasis on speed. Indeed, there's so much emphasis that confusion often ensues... There are two important senses of "latency" in analytics. One is just query response time. The other is the length of the interval between when data is captured and when it is available for analytic purposes. They're often conflated...
For a variety of reasons, I don't plan to post my complete Enzee keynote slide deck soon, if ever. But perhaps one or more of its subjects are worth spinning out in their own blog posts. I'm going to start with analytic speed or, equivalently, analytic latency. There is, obviously, a huge industry emphasis on speed. Indeed, there's so much emphasis that confusion often ensues. My goal in this post is not really to resolve the confusion; that would be ambitious to the max. But I'm at least trying to call attention to it, so that we can all be more careful in our discussions going forward, and perhaps contribute to a framework for those discussions as well.Key points include:
