How big of a query do you have to make to get charged $14k...? Isn't it billed by data transfer
2 comments

No, by amount of data scanned to answer the query. This would be about 2.2PB worth of data.

Partitioning matters y'all!

Ah, ok.
On-demand pricing in the US charges $6.25 per TiB (and the first TiB per month is free).

So $14k would be about 2,240 TiB.

I wonder what sort of partitioning and clustering is used for the tables.
