Yep - it's all detailed in the post! The question is how it compares to TimescaleDB, which is an OLTP time-series database that has a lot of other possible use cases (and extensibility). I think it's very fair to explore how smaller batches work since others haven't ever actually shown that (as far as we can see) so that users that would normally be coming from a database like PostgreSQL can understand the impact something like small batches would have.

As for ingest queueing, TSBS does not queue results. We agree, and tell most users that they should queue and batch insert in larger numbers. Not every app is designed that way and so we wanted to understand what that would look like.

But CH did amazingly well regardless of that with batches above 1k-2k and lived up to it's name as a really fast database for ingest!
