Feed: Actian. Author: Jack Mardack. It feels like only yesterday that “Machine Learning” and “Artificial Intelligence” were equated with science fiction by most regular folks outside of tech. As a movie-going culture, we have a long history of associating these concepts with self-aware robots or rogue computer programs that could escape the laboratories where they were created and threaten all humanity. But in 2020, ML and AI have been considerably demystified. And yet, even if it seems less likely now that the Singularity will be triggered by the reckless ambition of some tech startup, consumers have new reasons to be concerned. Yes, ML and AI are going mainstream, and it’s not just disruption-minded startups that are leveraging these technologies. Enterprises in a wide range of established industries are finding solid business reasons ... Read More

Feed: All - O'Reilly Media. Author: Gary Sloper. Compass (source: Pixabay) Check out "Edge Resiliency," by Gary Sloper and Mark Wilkins, to learn more about how to navigate resiliency challenges. Reliability and response time are always pressing concerns for internet services. We’ve known for a long time that people on desktop or laptop computers have scant patience for slow websites, and the growing move to mobile devices makes the demands on internet services even worse. O'Reilly Media and Oracle Dyn teamed up this year to survey network operators about where their resilience problems lie, what they're doing to avoid these ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Valeriy Kravchuk; I've decided to stop reviewing MySQL Release Notes in this series, but it does not mean that I am not interested in MySQL bugs any more. At the moment I am subscribed to 91 active MySQL bugs reported by other MySQL users, and in this blog post I am going to present 15 of them, the most recently reported ones. I'd really want to see them fixed or at least properly processed as soon as possible.In some cases I am going to add my speculations on how the bug had better be handled, or ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL. Author: Valeriy Kravchuk. This is a "Howto" kind of post, and some speculations and historical references aside, it will show you how to build MariaDB ColumnStore (current version 1.0.9) from GitHub source, how to install and configure it for basic usage, as well as how to resolve some minor problems you may get in the process. Keep reading and eventually you'll get the real Howto below :) * * * I try not to care about any software issues besides good old MySQL, InnoDB storage engine internals, query optimization and some MyRocks or a little bit of ...

Feed: Planet MySQL. Author: Valeriy Kravchuk. Back in January 2014, some time after many nice people kindly asked me to shut up stop writing about MySQL bugs on Facebook several times per day, I decided to start reading the fine MySQL Manual more carefully than before and report not only typos there, but also any topic or detail not properly explained. Usually these reports, tagged as "missing manual", were the result of careful study of the documentation based on real user question or customer issue. So, most of these reports came from real life, and missing information badly affected poor ... Read More

He enrolled in the NYC Data Science Academy 12-week full time Data Science Bootcamp program taking place between September 23, 2016 and December 23, 2016. The original article can be found here. Have you been followed on Twitter or Instagram by someone you don't know? I get this a lot. And so to avoid being thought of as rude, I follow back. Eventually, I got tired of following back when I realized that some of these accounts don't really do anything but collect followers. Now, why would anyone ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL. Author: Valeriy Kravchuk. It seems recent post on Group Replication by Vadim caused an interesting discussion on Facebook. I am NOT going to continue it here, but decided to present some facts, specifically, list of public bug reports and feature requests for Group Replication (mostly "Verified", that is, accepted by Oracle engineers as valid) as of MySQL 5.7.17 (where the feature is promoted as GA), with just few comments to some of the bugs.The goal is to double check this post when next Oracle MySQL 5.7.x release appears, to find out how much Oracle carews to fix ...

Feed: Planet MySQL. Author: Valeriy Kravchuk. My previous post on MyRocks was intended to provide some background details for a couple of slides for my FOSDEM talk on profiling MySQL. The results and performance demonstrated by MyRocks vs InnoDB from MySQL 5.7.17 were not really important to show how perf helps to understand where the time was spent while executing of one specific query vs the other (with the same results, but different plan), but they still caused a lot of comments from people who care, so I decided to double check and clarify few more details.First of all, it ...
