HeatWave as a Query Accelerator:
HeatWave enhances theMySQL Database Serviceby providing anin-memory, massively parallel query accelerator. It is specifically designed to speed upanalytical (OLAP) queries, making them run significantly faster compared to using MySQL alone.
* The system stores data in acolumnar formatand processes it in memory, utilizingdistributed, parallel processingto achieve high performance.
* Unlike traditional MySQL setups, HeatWave canexecute complex analytical workloadsefficiently.
Why the other options are incorrect:
* A:HeatWave is not a standalone database but an extension of MySQL.
* C:It is optimized foranalytical workloads, not transactional.
* D:It is more than just a caching layer; it actively processes queries.
* E:HeatWave clusters do not split MySQL instances but enhance query processing.
