Has anyone done a meaningful private benchmark comparison with http://www.scylladb.com/ ? I didn't find one online.

It is a 100% different type of database. Druid is olap while scylladb is oltp. They have nothing in common (except for the "columnar" name)

Yes, but that doesn't mean you can't benchmark them anyway. And I think you could probably find some meaningful comparison. Certainly it would be more useful than the Druid whitepaper's benchmarks against MySQL. (I used to work on a DB project, we too had a benchmark against MySQL even though our DB was OLAP-focused.)

No they can't because scylladb can't do the stuff druid can (and vice-versa). While mysql can (even though it's a completely different way).
