An extensible TPC workload?
Three types of extensions
- Query: new question on the same schema
- Schema: new representations and queries on the same data
- Data: new data types and operators
Simpler adoption model than full specification
- Mini-spec presented by three sponsors
- Eval period for prototype/refinement (Draft status)
- Acceptance as an extension
- Periodic review for renewal, removal or promotion to base workload
The goal is an adaptive workload: more responsive to the market and more inclusive of new technology without losing comparability or relevance
