This isn’t really a technical article, but it’s important — we’ve renamed the project.

Reason for the Rename

Datafuse and the open-source project DataFusion have names that sound quite similar in English. For everyone’s future development, we’ve decided to rename the project to: Databend.

Some misunderstandings arose due to cultural differences, but once we talked things through, they were resolved. Thanks to Andy for his understanding and support. We believe both DataFusion and Databend have bright futures.

The Meaning of Databend

The theory of relativity is one of the 20th century’s greatest discoveries. Due to the presence of matter, time and space bend (space-time bend). It made humanity reconsider time and space. We hope that Databend’s arrival will make more people reconsider data and discover greater value.
