BotchagalupeMarks for June 14th – 08:42
By John | June 15, 2009
These are my links for June 14th from 08:42 to 08:59:
- Community Principles (Google Wave Federation Protocol) – Google Wave introduces a new communication and collaboration platform built around hosted conversations called waves. The wave model enables people to communicate and work together in new and more effective ways. The Google Wave Federation Protocol is the underlying network protocol for sharing waves between wave providers. The protocol is open to contributions by the broader community with the goal to continue to improve how we share information, together.
- Google I/O – Mercurial on BigTable – Project Hosting on Google Code is a web-based platform for open source development, providing mailing lists, an issue tracker, a source code repository, download areas, and so on. This talk will focus on a new version-control component of Project Hosting on Google Code: Mercurial backed by Bigtable. Mercurial/Bigtable is designed to scale over thousands of machines and use Bigtable's replication to run over multiple datacenters. It is built to be able to host hundreds of thousands of open source projects. Come learn about Mercurial's architecture, and how we've extended it to grow to "Google size".
- On Google Wave – Part 1: Architecture – Endesha – Where Leaders Meet – If you haven’t done so already, watch the 1:20 min announcement and demo of Google Wave. Wave is Google’s attempt at world domination and I welcome it.
- Engineering @ Facebook’s Notes | Facebook – A number of engineers from Facebook are speaking at the Yahoo! Hadoop Summit today about the ways we are using Hadoop and Hive for analytics. Hive is an open source, peta-byte scale date warehousing framework based on Hadoop that was developed by the Data Infrastructure Team at Facebook. In this blogpost we'll talk more about Hive, how it has been used at Facebook and its unique architecture and capabilities.
- Announcing the Yahoo! Distribution of Hadoop (Hadoop and Distributed Computing at Yahoo!) – Today we're announcing the general availability of the Yahoo! Distribution of Hadoop, a source-only distribution of Apache Hadoop that we deploy here at Yahoo!.
In my role as quality and release engineering manager for grid technologies at Yahoo!, including Hadoop, I'm really excited about what this release means for the larger Hadoop ecosystem. Here's why:
1. We're opening up the results of our investment in quality engineering and scale deployments to the Apache Hadoop community and surrounding ecosystem.
2. We're publishing a frequent source distribution that provides a robust foundation on which others can build and deploy their own enterprise distributions, support, and solutions.
3. We're committing to keep all of our source code changes for our distributions available as patches in the Apache Hadoop community. - HotPads Shows the True Cost of Hosting on Amazon | High Scalability – Mather Corgan, president of HotPads, gave a great talk on how HotPads uses AWS to run their real estate search engine. I loved the presentation for a few reasons:
- Perspectives – The SmugMug Tale – Don MacAskill did one of his usual excellent talks at MySQL Conf 09 this. My rough notes follow.
- Amazon Elastic Load Balancer Setup | Serk – Amazon Web Services in general has excellent documentation. ELB is no exception. Probably the most important document you can read is the ELB Quick Reference Card. This one page sheet shows you all the ELB related commands and their argument options.
- eHarmony puts Amazon MapReduce to the test – At the JavaOne show, Steve Kuo, and Joshua Tuberville, software architects at eHarmony, discussed how the company has been testing out different variations of its matchmaking models using Hadoop and Elastic MapReduce on top of Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- Opinion: EC2 Outage Was Not an Outage – Alestic.com – part-time position as the coordinator of MUST Marietta’s Weekday Service Intake and Client Welcome
