Tokyo Cassandra Summit 2014: Tunable Consistency by Al Tobey
This document discusses strategies for avoiding read-modify-write operations in Cassandra databases. It presents several Cassandra features that allow updating data without explicit read-modify-writes, such as overwriting rows, using collections, and lightweight transactions. It also covers data modeling techniques like journaling, content-addressable storage, and modeling time-series data. The document concludes that Cassandra is well-suited for write-heavy workloads and provides tools to safely perform read-modify-writes when necessary.
Scylla db deck, july 2017
The deck describes ScyllaDB's flagship product - a drop and replacement alternative to Apache Cassandra at 10X the speed. ScyllaDB innovative design relies on shard-per-core, own caching and c++ to deliver blazing and consistent performance. Check the deck on how this was achieved.
Scylla db@sf data meetup, dec 1 2015
Scylla is a NoSQL database that is fully compatible with Apache Cassandra but can achieve over 1 million operations per second per server node. Scylla achieves this high performance through an architecture that shards operations per CPU core and avoids locks, threads, and context switching between tasks that can cause performance bottlenecks. Scylla also uses a unified database cache in userspace rather than relying on the Linux page cache for better performance and scalability.
Scylla db@cassandra meetup, tlv, 2015
This document summarizes a presentation about ScyllaDB, a NoSQL database that is fully compatible with Apache Cassandra but claims to be faster by achieving over 1 million transactions per second per server. It explains that ScyllaDB uses a different architecture that shards each core, avoids locks and threads, and exploits hardware resources better than Cassandra to achieve significantly higher performance. It also highlights that ScyllaDB is fully compatible with Cassandra so existing code and tools can be used without changes.
Sanger, upcoming Openstack for Bio-informaticians
Delivery of a new Bio-informatics infrastructure at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Center. We include how to programatically create, manage and provide providence for images used both at Sanger and elsewhere using open source tools and continuous integration.
Introducing SciaaS @ Sanger
Sanger has a vision of performing world class bio-informatics research for the benefit of human health. As research continues to generate new spinout companies, they require a flexible and cost effective way of bringing services to life as required and with the SLA's and performance that they need for a cost that they can afford. This presentation walks through how Sanegr IT have created such a platform.
Apache cassandra nio
The document discusses changes to Apache Cassandra's networking layer in version 4.0. Specifically, it has moved from blocking I/O to non-blocking I/O using NIO. This reduces context switching overhead and improves performance as the number of nodes increases. It also applies these improvements to communication between nodes, whereas previously it was only used for client-to-node communication. System administrators should review these changes and perform any necessary tuning when deploying Cassandra in public clouds.

Acunu and Hailo: a realtime analytics case study on Cassandra
Hailo is a taxi app that receives a hail every 4 seconds across 15 cities. It launched on AWS using MySQL but adopted Cassandra and Acunu for greater resilience during international expansion. Cassandra provided high availability and global replication. Acunu provided analytics capabilities on Cassandra data. Hailo uses Cassandra for entity storage and Acunu for analytics, seeing benefits like simplified data modeling, rich queries, and infrastructure monitoring. Choosing these platforms allowed for high availability, multi-data center operation, and scaling to support growth.
Virtual nodes: Operational Aspirin
- Cassandra nodes are clustered in a ring, with each node assigned a random token range to own.
- Adding or removing nodes traditionally required manually rebalancing the token ranges, which was complex, impacted many nodes, and took the cluster offline.
- Virtual nodes assign each physical node multiple random token ranges of varying sizes, allowing incremental changes where new nodes "steal" ranges from others, distributing the load evenly without manual work or downtime.

Understanding Cassandra internals to solve real-world problems
The document summarizes Nicolas Favre-Felix's presentation on Cassandra internals at a Cassandra London meetup. It discusses four common problems encountered with Cassandra - high read latency, high CPU usage with little activity, long nodetool repair times, and optimizing write throughput. For each problem, it describes symptoms, analysis using tools like nodetool, and solutions like adjusting the data model, increasing thread pool sizes, and adding hardware resources. The key takeaways are that monitoring Cassandra is important, using the right data model impacts performance, and understanding how Cassandra stores and arranges data on disk is essential to optimization.
Acunu Analytics: Simpler Real-Time Cassandra Apps
Talk for the Cassandra Seattle Meetup April 2013: http://www.meetup.com/cassandra-seattle/events/114988872/
Cassandra's got some properties which make it an ideal fit for building real-time analytics applications -- but getting from atomic increments to live dashboards and streaming queries is quite a stretch. In this talk, Tim Moreton, CTO at Acunu, talks about how and why they built Acunu Analytics, which adds rich SQL-like queries and a RESTful API on top of Cassandra, and looks at how it keeps Cassandra's spirit of denormalization under the hood.

Realtime Analytics with Apache Cassandra
The document describes how Apache Cassandra can be used for real-time analytics on streaming data. It provides an example of counting Twitter mentions of a term per day in real-time by incrementing counters in Cassandra as tweets are processed. This allows queries to be answered by reading the counters. More complex queries can be supported by storing aggregated data in a denormalized format across rows and columns in Cassandra.

The document discusses implementing real-time analytics on Twitter data using Cassandra. It describes incrementing counters for each tweet to track token frequencies over time. This allows querying token mentions within a date range by reading the relevant counter columns. However, Cassandra's random partitioner prevents efficient range queries on rows. Instead, the solution denormalizes the data into wide rows with time buckets as columns to allow fast counting of token mentions within each time period through a single disk read. The document provides code examples and encourages experimenting with an open source implementation.

Realtime Analytics on the Twitter Firehose with Cassandra
This document discusses using Cassandra for real-time analytics of Twitter data. It describes incrementing counters in Cassandra as tweets are processed to track metrics like mentions over time. This allows queries to retrieve trends by reading counters with a single I/O, rather than scanning large amounts of data. The document demonstrates preparing tweet data by tokenizing and incrementing counters in time buckets. It also covers implementing a range query to retrieve mentions between dates from a wide row with time buckets as columns.
Progressive NOSQL: Cassandra
This document discusses a distributed database called Acunu that is tunably consistent, highly available, and partition tolerant. It can scale out on commodity servers and provides high performance. The database uses a multi-master architecture without single points of failure and supports data replication across multiple data centers. It also provides a simple but powerful data model and is well-suited for applications involving high-velocity data.

It provides an overview of different categories of NoSQL databases and NewSQL solutions, and analyzes drivers like scalability, performance, relaxed consistency, agility, and complexity of data that are contributing to adoption of these new database approaches.
Cassandra EU 2012 - Putting the X Factor into Cassandra
Malcolm Box discusses Tellybug's experience using Cassandra to power voting applications for reality TV shows like Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor. They started with Cassandra to handle high write loads from millions of votes but found counting to be more challenging than expected. They implemented sharded counters in Memcached with Cassandra as the source of truth. While Cassandra scaled well for writes, reads had performance issues. Backup and data integrity also presented operational challenges as their usage of Cassandra evolved.

Acunu provides a web UI called the Control Center to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot Castle without deep Cassandra expertise. Acunu performs extensive automated testing of Castle to ensure reliability.
Cassandra EU 2012 - CQL: Then, Now and When by Eric Evans
The document discusses the history and development of Cassandra Query Language (CQL), which provides an SQL-like interface for querying Apache Cassandra databases. It describes CQL evolving from versions 1.0 through 3.0 to become more standardized and user-friendly. Key points include CQL initially being introduced in Cassandra 0.8 to replace the low-level Thrift API, its goals of being simple, intuitive, and high performing, and ongoing work to improve its interface stability and driver support across languages.

Programming Foundation Models with DSPy - Meetup Slides
Prompting language models is hard, while programming language models is easy. In this talk, I will discuss the state-of-the-art framework DSPy for programming foundation models with its powerful optimizers and runtime constraint system.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
