I agree, before I buy software or start using something I will search on HN for threads like this to see what criticisms others have and what alternatives other people use. Many times I will find something with the same features but cheaper

Here's how they word it on the informational page for Zing: “Zing® is priced on a subscription basis per server (physical or virtual). With per-server pricing, you don’t need to worry about core counts, memory size, or number of instan

Ah I see the document now, thanks. Based on this it seems like Zing is only a good solution for vertically scaling software. Now it makes sense why it's priced at 3500 per machine.

I ask because the pdf you're probably referring to seems to imply the opposite. I only skimmed though but heres what I found that seems to imply the opposite: "An entire Java heap (large or small) can be marked consistently withou

Cool, thanks for the insight! I love reading the thinking process behind design decisions. On the subject of Azul's price: I think they would give you a high volume discount, but even half the price (1750) per server would be pretty ou

by faizshah 10y ago
Good points, I agree. It seems they're probably going for finance with that pricing model.

Can you provide a source? I haven't used Zing (only read about it) but my understanding is that it should work for low memory and high memory JVMs.

by faizshah 10y ago
In this case I don't think it's the raw performance they are looking for but rather freedom from the unpredictable GC pauses. Although I think they should have explained why they didn't use Azul Zing for this, I realize it&#x

I agree that Flink is better for low latency, but I was also under the impression Flink's DataSet API was faster for batch processing than Spark. Now that they're purporting Spark 2.0 may be up to 10x faster than 1.6 I'll hav

by faizshah 10y ago
I'll have to benchmark Spark 2.0 against Flink, it seems like it could be faster than Flink now. It does depend on if the dataset they used was living in memory before they ran the benchmark, but it's still some pretty impressive

I was interested in the synchronous languages but never got around to reading more in depth about them. Can you recommend a book on the subject? The two languages I was most interested in were Lustre and Esterel.

Great idea, I have a couple of questions. Since YC Fellowship is intended for startups at the idea stage/prototype stage, is ApplyHN a catch all for businesses at the idea stage looking for feedback from the HN community? Can you do a

Semi-related but does anyone know if zeppelin supports java yet?

Great article, thanks! Do you know if the Dataflow API is actually used internally as well? That's another thing that's a little confusing.

I thought kubernetes was created by the Google cloud team and that a combined Borg and Omega is what's used internally?

Ok, and what's the process like for disaster recovery with citus?

So this sounds similar to Pivotal's Greenplum which is also open source, can anyone compare the two?

My comment wasn't directed at the OP it was directed at the community and these weekly community bashing cycles.

I was referring to: >Without the bashing, they would become even more extreme. At least after this a lot of devs will think twice about making "micro-modules". I don't think this "self-regulation" (I called this

If that were true java would have started dying a few years ago, javascript frameworks wouldn't pop up every week, and most people would use shell scripts instead of build tools. This is exactly the kind of flame war stuff the guidelin

I don't understand why this community has to have a weekly cycle of bashing different programming communities. Every week there's a new drama thread bashing Java devs, Go devs, Javascript devs etc. The thing that I come to this co

Hmm, I didn't know that about the DataSet API. When I looked at the scheduler's code it didn't seem to have any notion of data locality except for colocation of vertices. I'll take a look at the DataSet API's code t
