+* Slow ProbeSetData SQL query
+
+** The case
+
+We were looking to optimize a query for correlations. On Penguin2 (standard
+drives, RAID5) the query took 1 hour. On Tux01 (solid state NVME) it took 6
+minutes. Adding an index for StrainId (see explorations below) reduced that
+query to 3 minutes - which is kinda acceptable. The real problem, however is
+that this is a quadratic search - so it will get worse quickly - and we need
+to solve it. This table has doubled in size in the last 5 years.
+
+So what does ProbeSetData contain?
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC SQL
+select * from ProbeSetData limit 5;
++----+----------+-------+
+| Id | StrainId | value |
++----+----------+-------+
+| 1 | 1 | 5.742 |
+| 1 | 2 | 5.006 |
+| 1 | 3 | 6.079 |
+| 1 | 4 | 6.414 |
+| 1 | 5 | 4.885 |
++----+----------+-------+
+#+END_SRC
+
+You can see Id is sectioned in the file (and there are not that many Ids) but
+StrainId is *distributed* through the database file and some 'StrainIds' match
+many data points. Id stands for Dataset (item) and StrainId really means
+measurement type or trait measured(!)
+
+Our query looked for 1,236,088 measurement distributed over a 53Gb file (and
+an even larger index file). Turns out the full table is read many many times
+over for one particular query pivoting on strainid...
+
+We have the following options:
+
+1. Reorder the table
+2. Use column based storage
+3. Use compression
+4. Use a different storage layout
+
+*** Reorder the table
+
+We could reorder the table on StrainID which would make this search much faster
+but it would many common (dataset) queries slower. So, that is not a great
+idea. One thing we could try is add a copy of the first table. Not exactly
+elegant but a quick fix for sure. We'll need an embedded procedure to keep it
+up-to-data.
+
+*** Use column based storage
+
+Column-based storage works when you need a subset of the data in the table. In
+this case it won't help much because, even though the pivot itself would be
+faster, we still traverse all data to get IDs and values.
+
+*** Use compression
+
+Compression reduces the size on disk and may be beneficial. Real life metrics
+on the internet don't show that much improvement, but we could try native
+compression and/or ZFS.
+
+*** Use a different storage layout
+
+My prediction is that we can not get around this.
+
+** Result
+
+The final query is shown at the bottom of 'Exploration'. It takes 2 minutes
+on Penguin2 and Tux01. Essentially I took out the joins (which parsed the same
+table repeatedly) and added an index. The trick is to keep minimizing the query.
+
+The 2 minute query will do for now and it probably is no longer quadratic.
+
+We can probably improve things in the future by changing the way ProbeSetData
+is stored.
+
+
+** Exploration
+
+In the following steps I reduce the complex case to a simple case explaining
+the performance bottleneck we are seeing today. I did not add comments, but
+you can see what I did.
