- booi 4y agoI think what you're seeing is a resurgence of tech ethics where the source and support of a project is as important as the technology itself.
- hotstickyballs 4y agoIt’s not technically interesting since a lot of big data solutions already solve this problem so I guess only the geopolitics are left.
- xpl 4y agoI doubt about "a lot". Also, "already solve" does not mean "solve better" or even "good enough". It would be very interesting to see some in-depth comparisons with already-existing open source technology (like Hadoop, Hive, Iceberg, ZooKeeper) to get a sense of when and where YT could be more effective.
- hamilyon2 4y agoI am obviously biased, but, yes, technically it is very, very interesting. Distributed transactions, kiparis, YQL are interesting. Another aspect, the only other open alternative is Hadoop, hbase and hive. They don't compete with yt on usability and developer experience aspects. Yt is much more polished, despite historical quirks.
- l0b0 4y agoAgreed, but this is presumably also an absolutely massive project hardly anyone here has even used before. So it's not surprising that there are no big tech insights on the day of the release. An `scc` printout might be interesting, but any in-depth analysis is going to take a long time.
- arivkin 4y agoHere are some developers from YT which can help you and answer some technical questions. Also YT is a huge and old project. I believe you can find a lot of people which are ex-Yandex who worked with YT.
