That makes sense. I meant to write 50gbps, I don’t mean they should reach that, I mean you could use any protocol that is fairly efficient and it would reach that.

The size of the dataset should be under 3GB in parquet from what I understand. [0]

So it did 3*8/4.94 = 4.85 Gbps which is underwhelming in terms of network performance.

It is still not possible to make any conclusions since we don’t know how specifically they encode it or how they are running the query.

I just mean this writing is useless in terms of engineering perspective, also what it says about http doesn’t make sense
