doesn't seem like it's semantic https://hackersearch.net/search?q=solutions+for+postgres+clu... sure result are about postgres but none was relevant to clustering solutions

I suspect this is probably because of a bit of a bias in the indexed dataset: at present, the indexed stories tend to bias toward high-scores ones, and at a glance I don't see that many stories about Postgres clustering in that distribution.

  • yeah there are only three stories coming up from the site search and none picks up things like citus etc

    https://hn.algolia.com/?q=postgres+clustering

    only one is semanthically correct, the other pick up the wrong version of clustering (i.e. k-means instead of multi master writes)

    but yeah if one doesn't test the hard cases, how does one know it preserves semantics :D

    • In fairness, it's probably impossible to unambiguously determine what the intended/desired interpretation is (though intuitively it seems like k-means should be lower likelihood)!
