Data-as-a-Service: The data fabric for clouds. We Recommend These Resources Never before has data storage and retrieval been more at the forefront of what's new and exciting in technology, and it's long overdue for a major update. Consider, how much have filesystems or relational databases really changed over the last two decades? Web-2.0: that much overused, overloaded and overhyped term is also over here! And everywhere. Traditionally considered the darling of teenage PHP hackers sitting in their bedrooms, Web-2.0 has spawned a whole class of massively distributed, socially spread applications which impose unprecedented volumes on data storage systems. What's interesting is that such styles of interaction are no longer restricted to kids stalking their best-friends' girlfriends on Facebook.

Back to technology. In-memory Data Grids In-memory data grids aren't new and have been around for a while. The world of NoSQL NoSQL is currently as undefined and unstructured a term as the data organisation style it promotes. But is that enough? Object Computing, Inc. — Java News Brief — June 2009. By Andrew Prunicki, Senior Software Engineer Object Computing, Inc. (OCI) Introduction Thrift is a framework for creating interoperable and scalable services. Thrift was originally developed at Facebook, and contributed to Apache in order to foster greater use. Thrift is released under the Apache 2.0 license. Through a simple and straight-forward Interface Definition Language (IDL), Thrift allows you to define and create services that are both consumable by and serviceable by numerous languages. Using code generation, Thrift creates a set of files that can then be used to create clients and/or servers. The choice of programming language at Facebook is based on what language is best suited for the task at hand.

This article is structured in the following topics: Thrift Architecture Thrift includes a complete stack for creating clients and servers. The top portion of the stack is generated code from your Thrift definition file. Supported Protocols, Transports and Servers. TCompactProtocol. The Apache Cassandra Project. Redis på 5 minuter | Entreprenör Jonas Lejon. NOSQL Databases. Welcome to Apache Hadoop!

GettingStarted. Cassandra documentation from DataStax DataStax's latest Cassandra documentation covers topics from installation to troubleshooting, including a Quick Start Guide. Documentation for older releases is also available. Introduction This document aims to provide a few easy to follow steps to take the first-time user from installation, to running single node Cassandra, and overview to configure multinode cluster. Step 0: Prerequisites and Connecting to the Community Cassandra requires the most stable version of Java 7 you can deploy, preferably the Oracle/Sun JVM. The best way to ensure you always have up to date information on the project, releases, stability, bugs, and features is to subscribe to the users mailing list (subscription required) and participate in the #cassandra channel on IRC. Step 1: Download Cassandra Download links for the latest stable release can always be found on the website.
