Hey, this is really great. Fun fact - there is another SimpleDB also written in Java [1]. The book (out of print I think) is a good read.

Indeed, thanks for the link! We used this SimpleDB in university 15 years ago and implemented our own database nodes like hash joins, table scans, index scans, etc. as well as the paging logic and more. This was really useful to better understand ideas behind many databases.
I thought for sure that this post was about this simpledb.
Is that book what this course is based on?
Thank you! I'll be sure to check out the book
