To be fair, this is not actually all that far off the truth. Do napkin math on how much storage you'd need to index say 25 billion documents, and you'll see it's not actually a lot. 25 billion bytes is 25 Gb. How many bytes do you need per document (for the index)? A kilobyte, maybe? If so that's 25 Tb. While certainly not something you can fit on a thumbdrive, it's hardly something you need a planetscale computer cluster to store. You may need it for the IOPS of actually using it, but that's another thing entirely. |
