HBaseCon 2012 | HBase Filtering - Lars George, ClouderaCloudera, Inc.
This talk will run through the list of filters that are shipped with HBase and show how they are used from a client application. Filters expose varying feature sets, but also exhibit an equally varying impact on read performance – but neither are directly intuitive. A skilled HBase practitioner should know how to select the proper filter for a given use-case, or how to combine sets of filters to achieve what is needed. The talk will conclude with an example for a custom filter and explain how to deploy it on a cluster.
Speakers: Jingcheng Du and Ramkrishna Vasudevan (Intel)
As HBase continues to expand in application and enterprise or government deployments, there is a growing demand for storing data across geographically distributed datacenters for improved availability and disaster recovery. The Cross-Site BigTable extends HBase to make it well-suited for such deployments, providing the capabilities of creating and accessing HBase tables that are partitioned and asynchronously backed-up over a number of distributed datacenters. This talk reveals how the Cross-Site BigTable manages data access over multiple datacenters and removes the data center itself as a single point of failure in geographically distributed HBase deployments.
Evolution of MongoDB Replicaset and Its Best PracticesMydbops
There are several exciting and long-awaited features released from MongoDB 4.0. He will focus on the prime features, the kind of problem it solves, and the best practices for deploying replica sets.

Disaster Recovery and Cloud Migration for your Apache Hive WarehouseSankar H
As Apache Hadoop clusters become central to an organization’s operations, they have clusters in more than one data center. Historically, this has been largely driven by requirements of business continuity planning or geo localization. It has also recently been gaining a lot of interest from a hybrid cloud perspective, i.e. wherein people are trying to augment their traditional on-prem setup with cloud-based additions as well. A robust replication solution is a fundamental requirement in such cases.
The Apache Hive community has been working on new capabilities for efficient and fault tolerant replication of data in the Hive warehouse. In this talk, we will discuss these new capabilities, how it works, what replication at Hive-scale looks like, what challenges it poses, what we have done to solve those issues. We will also focus on what we need to be aware of in our usecase that might make replication optimal.
PostgreSQL connections at scale was the presentation by our external speaker at our 8th opensource database meetup. The presentation helps you comprehend on database connections with its cost, gauge the need for a connection pooler, Pgbouncer overview with its features, monitoring, and deployment best practices.

With Android activations reaching a million devices per day, it is no surprise that security threats against our favorite mobile platform have been on the rise.
In this session, you will learn all about Android's security model, including application isolation (sandboxing) and provenance (signing), its permission system and enforcement, data protection features and encryption, as well as enterprise device administration.
Together, we will dig into Android's own internals to see how its security model is applied through the entire Android stack - from the Linux kernel, to the native layers, to the Application Framework services, and to the applications themselves.
Finally, you’ll learn about some of the weaknesses in the Android's model (including rooting, tap-jacking, malware, social-engineering) as well as what can be done to mitigate those threats, such as SE-Linux, memory protection, anti-malware, firewall, and developer best practices.
By the end of this session you will have a better understanding of what it takes to make Android a more trusted component of our personal and professional lives.

For the complete slides from this talk go to http://mrkn.co/munz7
"The most interesting part of Android stack are the Android System Services. The 60+ such services expose the low level functionality, such as Power Management, Wifi, Camera, Sensors, GPS, Display, Audio, Media, and so on, all the hardware all the way up to the application layer. While each one is different, the all have certain similarities, namely the way they rely on Binder (Android's IPC mechanism), use JNI to cross Java-C boundary, and use of shared libraries to abstract the Linux drivers. In this talk, we'll explore the common system services in Android and discuss their architecture. You will get to see the diagrams of the inner workings of some of the previously undocumented parts of the Android stack. By the end of the talk, you should have a better understanding of the underpinnings of the backbone of Android OS."

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
