Miniwelt - Mini World, Lichtenstein, Germany

By
Do you want to see the best know buildings in the world ever all together at the large garden? Visit Lichtenstein, the small village near Dresden, east Germany. The miniwelt, means "mini world" in german, allow you to do that during one afternoon.


Eifell tower, pyramids, White house, Statue of Liberty, Pisa tower and a more and more. See the image gallery.

What else in the west Germany? Lichtenstein is about 80 kilometers far by higway E40 from Dresden. The town, totally destroyed by World War II. The historical center is now, 55 years later, amazingly rebuilt, worth to see. Note that all shopping centers are not opened on Sundays in Germany :-)

Performance Battle of NoSQL blob storages #1: Cassandra

By
Preface We spend last five years on HP Service Virtualization using MsSQL database . Non-clustered server. Our app utilizes this system for all kinds of persistence. No polyglot so far. As we tuned the performance of the response time - we started at 700ms/call and we achieved couple milliseconds per call at the end when DB involved - we had to learn a lot of stuff. Transactions, lock escalation , isolation levels , clustered and non clustered indexes, buffered reading, index structure and it's persistence, GUID ids in clustered indexes , bulk importing , omit slow joins, sparse indexes, and so on. We also rewrite part of NHibernate to support multiple tables for one entity type which allows use scaling up without lock escalation. It was good time. The end also showed us that famous Oracle has half of our favorite features once we decided to support this database. Well, as I'm thinking about all issues which we encountered during the development, unpredictive behavio

ETCD: POST vs. PUT understanding

By
ETCD is distributed key value store used as a core component in CoreOS . I've already send a post earlier this week. Here is a page describing how to use ETCD basic commands = ETCD API. Code snippets placed in a page mostly use put , but ETCD allows to use post as well.  Most of us understand differences between those two commands in a notion of a REST(ful) service, but how does it work in key value store? POST Example over many words. curl -v http://127.0.0.1:2379/v2/keys/test -XPOST -D value="some value" curl -v http://127.0.0.1:2379/v2/keys/test -XPOST -D value="some value" Two same command result into following content: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 { "action" : "get" , "node" : { "key" : "/test" , "dir" : true , "nodes" : [ { "key" : "/test/194" , "value" : &
