Questions & answers
How do subresult reuse and result caching improve query speed in Firebolt?
“Firebolt's FireCache spans three layers: a full result cache that serves repeated queries directly, a join hash table cache that reuses hash tables computed during previous requests, and a pagination input cache. Together they let Firebolt reuse intermediate query artifacts when serving new requests, reducing query processing times significantly while maintaining real-time, fully transactional results.”
What makes Firebolt ideal for low-latency, data-intensive workloads?
“Firebolt is engineered to handle hundreds of analytical queries per second; without compromising speed. It offers unparalleled cost efficiency with industry-leading price-to-performance ratios and scales seamlessly to handle terabytes of data with minimal performance impact.”
How can I select the right primary index to optimize performance in Firebolt?
“The primary index determines how data is sorted, which in turn determines how effectively Firebolt can prune data at query time.”
What are aggregating indexes, and how do they benefit performance?
“Firebolt's aggregating index pre-calculates and stores partial aggregation state for improved query performance, so a single index can serve many query shapes. The index is stored as an ordinary Firebolt table, partitioned and sorted on its grouping keys.”
What is data pruning, and how does it work in Firebolt?
“Data pruning in Firebolt minimizes the amount of data scanned during queries, allowing for tens-of-milliseconds response times by reducing I/O usage.”
