Feed: MemSQL Blog. Author: Carl Sverre. One of the main themes at DockerCon 2017 was the challenge of migrating legacy applications to containers. At MemSQL, we’re early adopters. We are already into our third year of running Docker at scale in production for our distributed software testing regime, where the performance, isolation, and cost benefits of containers are very attractive. The Challenge Before I take you through our journey to containers, let me start by outlining some of the general challenges of testing a distributed database like MemSQL. Our solutions are built for real-time data warehousing. Databases are really difficult ... Read More

Feed: What's New. Previously, if you wanted to tag instances launched by Spot Fleet you had to write and manage custom code. Now you can provide up to 50 user tags per launch specification and let Spot Fleet automatically tag instances it launches on your behalf. Tags enable you to categorize your AWS resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. This is useful when you have many resources of the same type — you can quickly identify a specific resource based on the tags you've assigned to it. Each tag consists of a key and an ... Read More

Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. When we first looked into the possibility of building a cloud-based data warehouse many years ago, we were struck by the fact that our customers were storing ever-increasing amounts of data, and yet only a small fraction of that data ever made it into a data warehouse or Hadoop system for analysis. We saw that this wasn’t just a cloud-specific anomaly. It was also true in the broader industry, where the growth rate of the enterprise storage market segment greatly surpassed that of the data warehousing market segment.We dubbed this the “dark data” problem. Our ... Read More

Feed: Hadoop – Cloudera Engineering Blog. Author: Justin Kestelyn. I’ve always held a strong bias that education is most effective when the student learns by doing. As a developer of technical curricula, my goal is to have training participants engage with real and relevant problems as much as possible through hands-on exercises. The high rate at which Apache Hadoop is changing, both as a technology and as an ecosystem, makes developing Cloudera training courses not only demanding but also seriously fun and rewarding. I recently undertook the challenge of upgrading the Cloudera Administrator Training for Apache Hadoop. I more than ... Read More
