You should be fine: "The Greenplum project is released under the Apache
2 license." (quoting from their github repo) :-)
This sounds like an interesting undertaking - keep us posted and feel
free to come here for support/Q's/tuning thoughts/etc. You should be
able to grab a copy of BigFUN and its data generator if using it is of
interest; exactly where to find those will be listed in the BigFUN paper
references.
Cheers,

Thanks, Michael! I'm looking to compare AsterixDB against Greenplum
and post the results. Anyone know if Greenplum has the "DeWitt clause"?

It's known in the literature as "System X" - other work, e.g., the
early MIT/Brown work in 2008-2009, used that same system in their
work on commercial databases vs. Hadoop and referred to it as
"System X" (so we did the same, name-wise). Most for-pay database
vendors' license agreements have a clause known informally as the
"DeWitt clause" that prohibit publishing any performance results
from their systems, so the tradition in the DBMS academic
benchmarking world is to not name the systems. This one was a
commercial shared-nothing parallel DBMS that is known to be a
solid performer (it wasn't just a strawman) and in the end the
graduate student who ran the numbers visited them on-site to get
some help in properly setting up the system.
If you go to http://asterix.ics.uci.edu//publications.html you can
find a copy of the BigFUN benchmark paper (which this was a
preliminary version of) as well as some other papers that might be
of interest.

Hi everyone!
Looking at the home page
(https://asterixdb.apache.org/index.html), I'm wondering what
parallel DBMS is AsterixDB being compared against?
Is there more information on this benchmark, too?
Thanks!
