Common Pitfalls of Functional Programming and How to Avoid Them: A Mobile Gam...gree_tech
This material is presented on CUFP 2013.
Functional programming is already an established technology is many areas. However, the lack of skilled developers has been a challenging hurdle in the adoption of such languages. It is easy for an inexperienced programmer to fall into the many traps of functional programming, resulting in a loss of productivity and bad software quality. Resource leaks caused by Haskell's lazy evaluation, for instance, are only the tip of the iceberg. Knowledge sharing and a mature tool-assisted development process are ways to avoid such pitfalls. At GREE, one of the largest mobile gaming companies, we use Haskell and Scala to develop major components of our platform, such as a distributed NoSQL solution, or an image storage infrastructure. However, only 11 programmers use functional programming on their daily task. In this talk, we will describe some unexpected functional programming issues we ran into, how we solved them and how we hope to avoid them in the future. We have developed a system testing framework to enhance regression testing, spent lots of time documenting pitfalls and introduced technical reviews. Recently, we even started holding lunchtime presentations about functional programming in order to attract beginners and prevent them from falling into the same traps.

HDFS is well designed to operate efficiently at scale for normal hardware failures within a datacenter, but it is not designed to handle significant negative events, such as datacenter failures. To overcome this defect, a common practice of HDFS disaster recovery (DR) is replicating data from one location to another through DistCp, which provides a robust and reliable backup capability for HDFS data through batch operations. However, DistCp also has several drawbacks: (1) Taking HDFS Snapshots is time and space consuming on large HDFS cluster. (2) Applying file changes though MapReduce may introduce additional execution overhead and potential issues. (3) DistCp requires administrator intervene to trigger, perform, and verify DistCp jobs, which is not user-friendly in practice.
In this presentation, we will share our experience in HDFS DR and introduce our light-weighted HDFS disaster recovery system that addresses afore-mentioned problems. Different from DistCp, our light-weighted DR system is designed based on HDFS logs (e.g. edit log and Inotify), light-weighted producer/consumer framework, and FileSystem API. During synchronization, it fetches limited subsets of namespace and incremental file changes from NameNode, then our executors apply these changes incrementally to remote clusters through FileSystem API. Furthermore, it also provides a powerful user interface with trigger conditions, path filters and jobs scheduler, etc. Compared to DistCp, it is more straightforward, light-weighted, reliable, efficient, and user-friendly.

With the IPv4 free address pool decreasing in size daily, it is high time for an organisation to start work on implementing IPv6. But such an important process is complex, so where does one start?
This presentation proposes a novel way to roll-out IPv6 in an organisation by starting with the easiest services first.

Mitigating Kafka Broker ‘Gray’ Failures For Key Based Partitioners With Parti...HostedbyConfluent
"Kafka broker gray failures are a common source of incidents at New Relic. We define these gray failures as events where a broker slows or stops request processing while continuing to lead a partition. A single broker gray failure often has cascading impact for key-based partitioning producers, creating back pressure and upstream lag for messages to all brokers. While there have been adaptive partition switching improvements (e.g. KIP-794 Strictly Uniform Sticky Partitioner) that allow producers to route around problematic brokers, these do not work for key-based partitioning strategies.
In this talk I describe partition multihoming (PMH), a form of virtual partitioning where two or more physical Kafka partitions are guaranteed to be consumed by the same consumer instance. When a broker is unhealthy, a multihoming partitioner can route messages through partitions led by a healthy broker destined to the same consumer as before the failure, preserving application functionality.
We will go over:
* The real world impact of gray failures that led to the creation of PMH
* The implementation details of PMH on key-based topics
* The PMH workflow when a broker becomes unhealthy
* The future roadmap for adding virtual partitioning in Apache Kafka for PMH
After this talk you will understand why PMH is key to reliability and should become a first-class feature of Kafka."

How Databases Work - for Developers, Accidental DBAs and ManagersEDB
Quite often, developers and managers find themselves in a situation where their database isn't performing well. Due to a lack of understanding of inner workings of the databases, they try to solve the problem using unrelated solutions.
In this talk we will walk through the various operations a database system (Postgres, Oracle, and others) perform while serving the application queries. We will also see how those operations relate to the operations done by OS, filesystem, and the storage disks.
