Comment on Design and evaluation of IPFS: a storage layer for the decentralized web

Comments

The content retrieval process across all regions takes 2.90 s, 4.34 s, and 4.74 s in the 50th, 90th, and 95th percentiles

Good improvement over the years but still a long way to go feel it even soft real time. Not sure these servers are using on the fly gzip compression before sending over network but they should consider adding compression feature at file or block level natively in "ipfs add" command.

There was an interesting paper "Hadoop on IPFS" (around year 2016-17). I hope these continuous improvement will play good role in making big data and analytics decentralised before it hits v1.0

I'd like to use it for analytics. One issue I hit was when I was testing things out for that use I added a file to several pinning services and the result wasn't available via my node or the ipfs main gateway for hours.
