Updates and Deletes on Columnar Postgres

Great product! I think with the updates and deletes it will be applicable to many more scenarios. HTAP is really getting important now that many more apps have user-facing analytics. In our case, we use plain PostgreSQL at the moment but I'm always on the lookout for PostgreSQL extensions. With Citus, Timescale and now Hydra this space is exciting!

I noticed by reading the documentation that the fact this is built on top of a Citus columnar fork is a bit hidden (mentioned only in a blog post). Why did you choose to fork rather than contribute to the Citus columnar project directly? AFAIK they also want to add update and deletes and vectorized execution.

We're excited to announce our team has added updates and deletes to columnar storage on Postgres. This builds on our prior releases of parallelization and vectorization.

Hydra is open source - star us on Github! (https://github.com/hydradatabase/hydra)

We are offering 14-day free trials of our cloud managed Hydra databases. Click the 'Get Started for Free" button on https://hydra.so/ to get one.

This is one of the most useful updates considering how commonly update and delete statements are used while working with any database. This is definitely a game changer for the columnar storage.

The best and fastest means to data warehousing. A genuine open source project for now and the future. We've got you covered.
