Why would you have to "spend like drunken sailors" to show traction? I think you make a much more compelling for having traction if you can continue to grow while spending like a sober sailor.

It's true I could do this. I'm pretty reluctant to because I really want to use hangouts for both on my phone. It remembers which number I've texted someone from previously which is pretty indispensable.

Yeah I'm really starting to get annoyed with this. The most painful part is thinking back to when I signed up for my Google Voice number. The promise seemed so great. A single number that Google would control and allow me to forward to

I don't know of one and I did a decent amount of looking while developing pfs. Hopefully we can eventually meet your needs!

This is a very good question. There's a growing sentiment in the Hadoop ecosystem that MapReduce is in someway passe and I think it's somewhat unfair. A lot of the confusion comes from the fact that people don't distinguish b

> Very neat. Btrfs is a practical choice. Looks like the Go http server listens for both changes and jobs? Right now pfs is just a file system so servers only listen for changes. However longterm this is going to be the case because subm

This is a very good point. In addition Docker itself tries to address this by using btrfs's diffing. Like a lot of things in Docker it's not perfect but it's getting there.

Yeah it can be a big pain. Especially for companies who aren't already using the JVM and are forced in to it so they can leverage the Hadoop ecosystem. I've had some very painful experiences trying to figure out what's going

Useful Docker images can actually be made quite a bit smaller than 1GB+ by using small distros like busybox and following best practices such as cleaning up temporary data between commits. That being said this is a legitimate concern becaus

by jdoliner 12y ago
This is a fair criticism and I think we used unclear phrasing here. It's not that we don't consider the JVM to be a modern toolchain in general. Rather we think it's not a modern toolchain for implementing MapReduce because i

I think the problem here isn't so much that the hint is repeated as that it's needlessly vague. You may have already solved the problem but in case you didn't I'd like to give you what I think would be a good hint becau
