   I need to add two factoids to this insightful discussion: There is a big difference between space-filling curves and hyperspace hashing. Space-filling curves map a multidimensional space to a single path through that space that is then mapp

   Thanks! Unlike a kd-tree or b-tree variants, HyperDex does not build an auxiliary data structure. It turns out that keeping aux data structures in sync with the data is very difficult if you want to provide strong consistency guarantees. Hy

   Not sure when you last looked at it, but we added the ability to cleanly shutdown and restart the cluster two releases ago. We are committed to providing a smooth upgrade path as well; that is not to say we will always be binary-compatible,

   A website relying on a single service to serve as a sole identity provider seems replete with risks. That sounds remarkably similar to Microsoft's Passport, an idea that was a non-starter for everyone except Microsoft.

   Since these kinds of leaks are very difficult to authenticate, there is an opportunity for intelligence agencies to game WikiLeaks by (slightly) altering stolen documents. I'd take everything in these documents with a huge grain of salt.

   You asked for a technical description, and also mentioned that you were unwilling to read a long, detailed technical description, and asked for a "TL;DR." I hope the short summary was useful. If you have technical feedback, we'll be very ha

   Great, let me answer your questions one by one: HyperDex is a next generation NoSQL store, so it kind of resembles traditional NoSQL stores like Mongo, Cassandra, Riak, and Dynamo, with a rich interface similar to that of Redis, but it offe

   Thanks, this is a valid point. Do take a look at our basic tutorial: http://hyperdex.org/doc/tutorial/ Then the more advanced one showing asynchronous operations, atomic operations, and fault tolerance: http://hyperdex.org/doc/tutorial-a

   A real hacker would never be dismissive of code and claims backed by an open git repo and documentation. That said, HyperDex outperforms and provides stronger guarantees than previous key-value stores due to two architectural differences. F

    Here it is http://gibbr.org/ . An undergrad implemented this on HyperDex in about half a semester.

    Thanks for the note. We were flabbergasted to read the parent comment complaining about "graphs and numbers." Note that the issues raised by the Redis developer boil down to the following: * The benchmark measures a primitive that Redis doe
