No. I'm not familiar with such things, and we weren't thinking outside the box.

Such tech would be new and unfamiliar, and would probably be harder to deploy initially. history_db is just SQL, and we know how to handle SQL. But history_db is perfect either, and there are some changes I would make if I were working on replacing the BranchRevision table with it. >, replace our > TeamParticipation construct (1.3M rows) , let us do the graph logic > needed in derivative distributions, blueprint dependencies (a > transitive data structure when the issue tracker arrives), and > similarly bug dependencies and project relationships. We also have a deadline with the BranchRevision table, as I believe we are halfway to exceeding maximum index value. Increasing the scope of this project runs the risk of delaying it to the point that we run out of BranchRevision index numbers.
