a talk on building an email app on Cassandra

2009-07-20 Thread Jun Rao
Last Friday, I gave an IEEE talk on an email app that we built on top of
Cassandra. Below is the link to the slides. I thought some of the people
here might find this interesting.

When I download this file, I get a 5KB file rather than the actual

you need to give a tiny bit of time (say 24 hours) for the mirrors to  
catch up.

This is on a trunk version of cassandra in June. Currently, this is just a

Fwd: thrift API changes

Well, that was a long week.  My fault -- as I commented on IRC, I
underestimated how long 185 would take as badly as I can remember
doing anywhere.

We're done with the big ones now.  (185, 240, 303, and 304).

Two more and then I think we can call it good for 0.4 from the
client's perspective: 232 and 300 (dealing with specifying the number
of replicas to wait for when reading/writing, respectively)

 Hi all,

 Just a heads up that this is going to be The Week Of Breaking Things
 in the client api.  There are a bunch of long-standing problems that
 can't be fixed without making fundamental changes in the API so we are
 going to bite the bullet and get those done now.  We've already done
 CASSANDRA-261, -277, and -280; next up will be CASSANDRA-139, and
 eventually CASSANDRA-240 and friends.

 If you're on a version of trunk that Works For You, you  might want to
 resist the urge to svn up until the dust settles.
