If the requirement calls for a one-time report, then I tried another implementation using SQLite; without a view, trigger, and primary key. A group by clause is used for the select statement, now that the DB has duplicate keys. The total time sheds 5 seconds including smaller DB size. Note: Variant two is not compatible with variant one.

running:

$ wc -l big1.txt big2.txt big3.txt 3515200 big1.txt 3515200 big2.txt 3515200 big3.txt 10545600 total $ time bash llil_sql_imp2 hash2.db big1.txt big2.txt big3.txt Importing big1.txt Importing big2.txt Importing big3.txt real 0m4.350s user 0m4.298s sys 0m0.049s $ time bash llil_sql_qry2 hash2.db >out.txt real 0m9.668s user 0m9.537s sys 0m0.122s $ ls -lh hash2.db -rw-r--r-- 1 mario mario 160M Feb 7 22:57 hash2.db

q - Text as Data:

I came across q - Run SQL directly on delimited files and multi-file sqlite databases on GitHub. Specify -T for tab-delimited output. You may like this tool. Check it out.

$ time ./linux-q -T "select name, sum(value) from hash.db:::kv_store g +roup by name order by sum(value) desc, name" >out.txt real 0m49.136s user 0m48.667s sys 0m0.423s

llil_sql_imp2:

Like variant one, the optional -reset argument to the importer script removes the DB file. The .output to /dev/null is to silence SQLite when setting PRAGMA statements. The .output without an argument restores it back to standard output.

llil_sql_qry2:

This produces output with proper formatting and sort order.
