Re: No proposals to implement 64bit mmap?

2016-12-13 Thread Kevin Burton
Been thinking about this more and I worked with the Netty gang on their own implementations back in the day. But their implementation is int based so maybe its best to just take their ByteBuf and port it to use long... On Thursday, December 8, 2016 at 11:20:07 AM UTC-8, Tomasz Kowalczewski w

No proposals to implement 64bit mmap?

2016-12-08 Thread Kevin Burton
It's going to be 2017 soon. Have there been any proposals to add 64bit mmaps to Java? I had to implement one for a project I was working on but found my implementation caused a very strange segfault which I couldn't duplicate. The fact that the JVM is limited to only mapping 2GB at a time is r

Simple in memory / embedded database for JSON / text corpora.

2016-11-19 Thread Kevin Burton
I'm looking for a decent / small embedded database for storing text corpora. Specifically, my company, Spinn3r, needs to both keep internal corpora, plus publish external corpora for researchers. The format should be VERY similar to a flat text file so they are readable with standard unix tools

mitmproxy now has HTTP record and replay. I've been meaning to try it. I know other tools have this bug most of them haven't been as easy to use as mitmproxy. I think this is a great strategy to capture REAL traffic then test on a virtualized cluster. Spin up 30-50 EC2 nodes for 30 minutes, t

What do you guys think of Oracle management of Java?

2016-11-06 Thread Kevin Burton
Not to get too political but I'm curious what the community thinks of the health of Java under the management of Oracle. It's been a few years now... and I'm sure many of us have concerns over the Google lawsuit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "me

Conservative strategy for working with arrays of more than 2B entries.

2016-10-28 Thread Kevin Burton
I've started trying to fix a bug in Stanford CoreNLP and there's an issue with them accessing large arrays. The code is 10 years old so 16GB of RAM (I'm sure) seemed a lot back them... but easy to exceed now. The limitation is that they're using a double[] to store feature vectors. I think

Unchecked exceptions for IO considered harmful.

2016-08-12 Thread Kevin Burton
Both the Elasticsearch and Cassandra drivers now use unchecked exceptions. Personally I consider this harmful. It's entirely possible I'm wrong here, but I can't find any sort of definitive/referential explanation why some consider checked exceptions to be harmful / evil. I've found a few doc
