Dear Gilles,
Graal-0.12 continues past the break point and seems to be faster than current hotspot.
30 minutes on 15 hours is a nice boost.
store_graal12.log:[transaction:uniprot.transaction] DEBUG: Processed uniprot.rdf.xz: 128674895 entries (0 bytes) in 14:24:23.139)
store_norm.log:[transaction:uniprot.transaction] DEBUG: Processed uniprot.rdf.xz: 128674895 entries (0 bytes) in 14:53:04.781)
Will run it a small number of times to make sure this is significant. Key take away is that Graal does work for real
applications with complicated runtimes. Congratulations!
Regards,
Jerven
