Now imagine I asked you to hold the haystack while you searched and even if you found the needle you had to keep holding the haystack until you looked at every piece of hay. That would just be mean. Well, that's how I treated ClickHouse and it's probably why it stopped returning my calls. This is an accurate representation of what ClickHouse had to do to support the Session Replay product and it had real-world implications. For our largest customers, searching was impossible. We didn't have enough memory to answer search and sort queries. For more moderately sized customers, search was possible but it was unbearably slow taking more than 10 seconds to respond.
