A burgle.


It's been several years since I've released anything new, but here is some instrumental work:

By way of documentation, this refers to FCC Part 97 rules, specifically §97.113(4):

Hi Alex - This looks a lot like what Scylladb did to unleash the potential of the Cassandra space, with a fully optimized C++ rewrite of an Apache project. Did you draw some inspiration from their efforts?

As a satisfied Scylla convert, I'm looking forward to trying Redpanda.


hi there! scylla is great :) we are built on the same framework seastar.io so we literally share code bases in that regard.

Main departure is we are only API compatible. It was an explicit choice to use Raft vs ISR and to not use ZK, etc.

but indeed, seastar is a really fun framework to build storage systems in. I know ceph is also doing a re-write of a subsystem in seastar for example.


I'm a fan of scylla too, but if I could go back in time I'd have recommended waiting until mid 2019 to migrate. 'Fully optimized C++ rewrite's tend to take years to become battle tested.


indeed. that's why we continuously _empirically_ prove that we are in fact safe - https://vectorized.io/validating-consistency/

there is no substitute to testing tho

there are 2 levels here. 1) raft has a proof (and a great phd dissertation from diego), but what matters is if we actually implemented it correctly. so 2) is we need to continuously test it. Denis did a lot of similar work at CosmosDB (microsoft) and has spent his career working on consensus.

Hopefully these eases some concerns.


In fact, we couldn't switch to Scylla prior to 2019 because their support of incremental counters wasn't yet complete.


totally. today if folks. need txns, they wouldn't be a good fit for us. What we found is about 90% of use cases are covered by the base api. For reference w/ all of the versioning there is something like 144 api calls you can make to kafka, most ppl use a small subset of those via high level clients. (java, python, librdkafka, etc)


Agreed. We have already migrated 90% of our workloads to graviton2. After running our performance tests, it's a no-brainer price/performance boost.


Yes - this is the issue for me with the Razer controllers: They are right-handed only. Like the Sherbet, the Azeron is 3D printed, which of course makes it much easier to manufacture left-handed models. The Azeron looks good, but at nearly 200 euros it's pretty pricey.


These have always been magical devices to me. I still use and maintain an old Heathkit capacitor tester that uses one as its indicator.


CPAN also exists, but not as it once did. Perl 5 wasn't just a language, but an ecosystem.


> CPAN also exists, but not as it once did.

Right, it's way better. What makes you ignore all the great improvements the PTS have made?


“Meat’s back on the menu, boys!”


In your view, does this study fall short of answering the “is it true?” question?
