Hi Kristen,

Are you offering to donate Joyent services to Apache committers as Amazon has?

Why use Amazon’s EC2 when Joyent is such a better alternative? In terms of Open Source and wanting access to more capabilities, Joyent’s Accelerators are an excellent platform for Ruby, Python, PHP and Java apps. With hardware load balancing, Joyent blows Amazon out of the water when it comes to scalability and price. Just look what they did for LinkedIn’s Bumper Sticker app for Facebook.

I didn’t do anything formal, mostly just discussed with people.

Robert Burrel Donkin has a nice slide deck at http://people.apache.org/~rdonkin/hadoop-talk/hadoop.html

Also see the Mahout wiki page:

That would be cool. I’m not a Taste pro, but I’ll see if I can crank through some of it and see what’s possible.

Looking forward to the Mahout session. I’ve lurked on mahout-dev for a while and am very interested in seeing some hands-on. How about the simplest possible demo showing how to plug Taste into one of the UCI datasets? (http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/).

It seems like when Taste-like libraries are as easy to use as a hash table, some really interesting things will be possible.

BTW: I’m contemplating a session. Below the Bare metal: Using Dtrace and Vprobes to look under the hood.

Comment on MySQL, Solr and “Communications link failure” by grant_ingersoll

Bob, I am looking into the queue approach, as that seems most useful. Shalin, you are definitely right on connection timeouts, but this was on the ResultSet, so you’d have to reexecute the query (or automatically page, as Archie suggests) I think.

This is one of the reasons DataImportHandler re-opens connections inactive for more than 10 seconds because there is no JDBC driver-independent way of managing time-outs.
