Hi all, I'm Patrick Stuedi from IBM Research Zurich. Most of my work over the last years has been on re-thinking the interface between distributed data processing and I/O (both network and storage) with focus on performance. In this context I've been working at the core of the Crail distributed data store. In the past I was developing jVerbs (now evolved to DiSNI, a "userspace" network and storage library for Java), and DaRPC (a "userspace" RPC library based on RDMA). "Userspace" I/O for those that are not familiar refers to applications interfacing with the hardware directly from userspace, using the operating system only for control operations (e.g., mapping hardware queues into userspace). Crail is also my first Apache project, but similarly to others I've been using many Apache artifacts over all those years including Hadoop, Yarn, Zookeeper, Spark, Thrift, Parquet, etc.
