The talk will describe how we have implemented storage of large tables (+1 billion rows per day). The project exists in production 2 years. The total amount of data - 300 Tb (25 PostgreSQL servers * 2 Data Center). I'll tell about mistakes in organization of large tables storage in the initial phase of the project, and how these mistakes were corrected. I'll also talk about how to organize the data rotation and archiving. I voiced questions about what we were missing in PostgreSQL 9.4 out of what appeared in the 9.5 and 9.6. And also, what new features we are waiting for new releases of PostgreSQL.
