Yeah, TPC-E is a better (more advanced) OLTP benchmark. TPC-C is trivially scalable by sharding on warehouse id everywhere. The problem with TPC-E is not many companies publish (official or unofficial) results for it, so its not as useful when comparing systems, which is what we were after in our blog post.
