I'm reminded of this the "urine reflecting wall paint" they want to apply in Hamburg. I highly doubt it'll solve anything: at the end of the day the streets will still reek of piss. ( https://www.theguardian.

No, but you also won't be using all that data at the same time. On Hadoop (and Spark on HDFS) clusters you'll find that most disks are either not that big or are heavily under-used. Our HBase cluster had 6 * 2Tb disks: about 8.5T

I'm not sure where you've seen this "increasing use of icons and emoji". When I encounter people (this is pretty much limited to teenagers) use emoji, they have very little communicative value. In the modern era the use

We've had issues with Influx being a massive resource hog. Not properly persisting data to disk. They openly admit that Influx isn't built to gracefully recover from crashes, and that you will lose data. This by itself wouldn&#x2
