Hadoop used as a data ingestion layer for large volumes of data

Hadoop is a system of archive

In both these scenarios, Netezza would would be the tool for performing deep data analysis, while Hadoop would be used as both a cost-effective storage solution and ETL processing system.

I just hope I'll get to see such systems at work.

I spend almost 90% of my time inside a Terminal or a web browser, and the 11" is not a problem for me in this contexts. I force myself to write code with an 80 column max line, so even using a bigger screen I tend to use small terminal apps. The 11" screen is enough to have a big font in the Terminal app to display 80 column x 37 rows. Web browsing is also ok, just a matter of tuning the font size to read comfortably.

The old MBA was so good from many points of view that I rapidly …

Problem is, I've not found a single DOI for any article in Annals and Magazine of Natural History that actually works. If you try and resolve the DOI for Wallace's paper, doi"10.1080/037454809495509 , you get the dreaded "Error - DOI not found" web page. So something like 20,000 DOIs simply don't work. The only way to make the DOI work is append it to "http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/", e.g. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/037454809495509 …

In 1.0 we added the ability to build secondary indexes on your data stored in Riak. We developed this functionality because, quite frankly, people needed a more powerful way to query their data.

So it's with particular interest that I've watched a new incarnation of server side JavaScript take hold in the developer community. Node.js is still young, but undeniably exciting in that it offers a highly scalable, event-driven I/O model for building networked applications. Node.js is built to run on V8 , which is an open source JavaScript engine developed by Google that compiles JavaScript into native machine code before execution, resulting in extremely …

A tuning test bed : we can easily try changes on our database reader first, make it writer, and ensure things are working. If things go south, it's just a single command to return to the previous writer.

Zero downtime schema changes (almost) : One of the big headaches of a decently-sized web app is making large database schema changes. These can take a while on a live database server, either locking tables or slowing down database performance considerably. With MMM , you can make large …

From: Pere Urbón Bayes Date: 2011/9/28Subject: Berlin Graph coding dojo, call for participation!To: Neo4j user discussions , neo4jrb@googlegroups.comGraph databases, together with graph processing problems, are a trendy topic right now. Neo4j is a well known graph database, but there are also others like OrientDB, DEX, etc. and there are also a big set of graph processing toolsets like Blueprints, Apache Hamma, Google Pregel like systems, etc. So from recomendations systems …
