It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything new. In the meantime I’ve been pretty busy. Working on production systems often means that you are not running bleading edge. That’s fine but sometimes you need to look at doing the upgrade and to do that you have to do quite a few checks to see how well newer versions of the software you use will work.
I’ve been in that situation with MySQL. I have quite a few boxes most of which are 5.0 and have been working fine. MySQL-5.1 has been GA now for some time, and I have started to look at it as support for 5.0 is about to end. I’ve already found quite a few 5.1 bugs, good enough to crash the server, but again that’s to be expected. Heavy loads and odd usage of the server means that MySQL can never be able to test all things. Replication problems caused a few issues with the first versions of 5.1 but they all seem to have been ironed out now. The other …

The ’server_statistics’ table is rather large, so you won’t see all of the fields on that table unless you open the mwb file and check it [...]
For those interested in learning "how it gets done", Raj Narayan - Director of Operations at Glam Media will be talking about how they evolved their infrastructure in route to becoming the 2nd fastest growing US-based web property in 2008.

Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Fedora 11 (LAMP)
LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. This tutorial shows how you can install an Apache2 webserver on a Fedora 11 server with PHP5 support (mod_php) and MySQL support.
Below is a rough draft of the cornerstone slide for a new presentation deck I am putting together to explain the various business strategies for monetizing open source software. The aim is to explain every single existing strategy using the elements on this one slide (although I am yet to test it out).
In our previous discussions about business strategies we have noted that there are four elements that shape a business strategy around open source software: the open source software license; the development strategy; the end user license strategy; and the revenue trigger.
As can be seen from the slide above, I have added a fifth element: copyright control. Copyright was previously considered in our research around business strategies but was seen more as an underlying influence than a distinct strategy element.
I have recently come to the realisation that copyright control is not just a part of each of the four elements, and …

Continuing my look at Tokyo Tyrant/Cabinet and addressing some of the concerns I have seen people have brought up this is post #2.
#2. As your data grows does Tokyo Cabinet slow down?
Yes your performance can degrade. One obvious performance decrease with a larger dataset is you start to increase the likelihood that your data no longer fits into memory. This decreases the number of memory operations and trades them for more expensive disk based operations. As fast as any application is, as you read off disk opposed to memory performance is going to drop off substantially. One of the more difficult things to test with Tyrant is disk bound performance. The FS Cache can make Tyrant seem like small amounts of memory will still make it scream. Once your data set is larger then that, people start to claim they hit the performance “wall”.
In order to help test this I …
