Together with Sergei Petrunia, we talked about MariaDB Cassandra Interoperability. Sergei has done wonderful work here and I plan to showcase more Cassandra integration going forward. It’s worth noting that Elena came up with the benchmarks for this talk as well.

[Read more]Big news at Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo this week, Tokutek open sourced TokuDB thus making my previous post Where are they now: MySQL Storage Engines out of date in just a few days.
In this case, I really don’t mind. It’s rather exciting that they’ve gone ahead and done this – and it’s not just a code drop: https://github.com/Tokutek/ft-engine is where things are at, and recent commits were 2hrs and 18hrs ago which means that this is being maintained. This is certainly a good way to grow a developer community.
While being a MySQL engine is really interesting, the MongoDB integration is certainly something to watch – and may be …

I actively maintain virtual test instances for my writing and teaching on Windows 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, and Solaris. Perl on Windows is always interesting. I use ActivePerl on Windows 7 rather than Strawberry Perl, and it was interesting to see this note after I upgraded to the most current Community Edition of ActivePerl (5.16.3).
I thought it might be kind to post ActiveState’s Release Note because you should really read it before you try to install ActivePerl on Windows 7/8. Just make sure you’ve removed any earlier version of ActivePerl before trying the install. That’s what I did, and surprise, there weren’t any problems.
While the installation doesn’t tell you that you need to restart the Windows 7 operating system, you do. If you don’t restart Windows 7 after the ActivePerl install, you’ll get the following error message:
install_driver(mysql) failed: … |
Since we had the pleasure to announce that TokuDB is open source on Monday, it’s been a thrilling ride. With several members of the team out west all week, back on the east coast we’ve been seeing quite a lot of questions, suggestions, and exciting results.
Here are some of the highlights of our first week of open source:
We started hearing back from the community almost immediately after the announcement with discussions in multiple forums. We even reached #2 on Hacker News for a bit.
On Tuesday, a friend of mine in China wrote up …
[Read more]While we won’t be able to present an in-depth overview of MariaDB 10.0 & the project at the SkySQL Solutions Day, we did so at Percona Live Santa Clara 2013. Here are slides from our talk. We did a little show between Monty & me. Good thing we were right before lunch because we over-ran in terms of Q&A for quite some time.
