I'd very much like to see what algorithm these systems are using to enable transactions in a distributed environment. Are they just using straight two-phase commit, and letting the whole transaction fail if a single server goes down? O

Could someone explain the difference between this and Avro or Parquet? Do they serve the same purpose?

I like. Simple, clean, the right idea. I don't see big advantages over one of the Jax-RS libraries, though. Those libraries pack in a lot, all of which you're going to need if you build a serious app. I think this library would be

You might also consider my project: https://github.com/dieselpoint/norm Not exactly the same thing, but serves a similar purpose.

Agreed; the author is wrong. But his insight is that DMU is related to loss aversion when the sums involved are large, and that really is interesting. Hadn't occurred to me. He just overstates the case.

It does, but companies that are not located here cannot be compelled to collect the tax. Instead, citizens are supposed to voluntarily pay a "use tax". No one does.

I'd really like to see how references correlate with the other factors. Did they not call references?

There's an interesting comment on the blog post: > Does handling all range's consensus traffic in bulk would be the most effective way to handle this? Instead could all the ranges from a node be represented as a single sta

I was thinking of Paxos and Raft, which are the two prevailing algorithms. (I'm 53. Would be happy to hear your old-man theories :)

Yup, this is the key problem with these consensus algorithms. They don't handle shards very well. Most systems these days either punt and don't do updates via the consensus algorithm (Apache Kafka), or they use two-phase commit (F

Does anyone have a pointer to the actual internal binary format? There have been a zillion attempts to do this efficiently (JSONB, BJSON, BSON, ubjson, MessagePack) and I'm curious which one they chose.

It's possible (but maybe not) that this was prompted by my comment a week ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9541362 MERGE is ANSI standard SQL, and so far as I know it's the only upsert-like syntax support

Is there a reason for yet another syntax for upserts? There's an ANSI SQL syntax: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_%28SQL%29 And MySQL has its own syntax: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman&#x2

As well you should be. Fortunately, we're relying on some third-party libraries that are built on a solid theoretical foundation, and what we promise is limited. Our goal is to improve over time.

Does anyone have any references on how you could write a distributed database that met all ACID properties? Surely there's an academic paper that says that if you do A then B then C, you are guaranteed a certain level of consistency.

So the important question is, how does the affect how we write applications? Is the api different, or are we still reading/writing disk files? Should we do memory mapping of the files or not? Should we parallelize access to different s

A brisk walk is 4 miles per hour and an average walk is 3 miles per hour. If you do the race at a slow walk, 2 miles per hour, you'll do the 100 miles in much less than the allotted 60 hours. Which means that the elevation and sleep de
